Combining a biography \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof Erasmus with the larger theological debates and the intellectual history of his time, Christine Christ-von Wedel reveals many of previously unexplored influences on Erasmus, as well as his \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einfluences on his contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eErasmus of Rotterdam\u003c\/em\u003e is a revised and considerably enlarged translation of Christ-von Wedel’s well-received 2003 study, originally published \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein German. Observing the influence of classical, biblical, patristic, scholastic, and late medieval vernacular and popular sources on Erasmus’ writing, the author provides comparisons with \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etheologians Agrippa, Lefèvre d’Étaples, Eck, Luther, and Zwingli to demonstrate not only the singularity of Erasmus’ intellect, but also the enormous impact he had on the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReformation. The result is a lively picture of the man and his time, in which Erasmus emerges as both a devout Christian and a critical seeker of truth who conceded the ambiguities that he could \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enot resolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142901809392,"sku":"9781442665729","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442665729_p0.jpg?v=1763811749","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442665729","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
