This book provides the first analysis of the development of
Erasmus' historical methodology and its impact on Roman Catholic
and Protestant theologians. Combining a biography of 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 influences on his
contemporaries. Erasmus of Rotterdam is a revised and considerably
enlarged translation of Christ-von Wedel's well-received 2003
study, originally published in German. Observing the influence of
classical, biblical, patristic, scholastic, and late medieval
vernacular and popular sources on Erasmus' writing, the author
provides comparisons with theologians Agrippa, Lefevre d'Etaples,
Eck, Luther, and Zwingli to demonstrate not only the singularity of
Erasmus' intellect, but also the enormous impact he had on the
Reformation. 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
not resolve.
