Erasmus’ thorough engagement with the New Testament, in
particular his revision of the Vulgate translation, aroused much
controversy, especially in the orthodox Roman Catholic country of
Spain. Erasmus had to fight fierce polemics with several people,
including two Spanish scholars, Diego López Zúñiga and Sancho
Carranza de Miranda, who were both connected to the University of
Alcalà . This quarrel lasted from 1520 to 1524, with a late
response by Erasmus in 1529. The discussion started as a
philological one, regarding "correct" Latin, but turned into a
dogmatic-theological fight over the issues of whether the New
Testament speaks of Christ as God, whether one can apply the term
servus (servant) to Christ, and whether the sacramental character
of matrimony can be deduced from Ephesians 5:32. The six texts in
this volume are here translated and annotated for the first time.
With elucidating notes and an introduction, the volume offers
wonderful insight into a fierce and fundamental polemic over the
New Testament
