Product Description

The Annotations of Erasmus are designed for those who wish to take the study of the Bible seriously. Erasmus himself declared as much: his Annotations were not written, he implied, to provide pleasant diversions or popular entertainment. They were a work of genuine biblical scholarship. They brought to bear on theological issues of the day the light of Scripture interpreted from its own historical and literary contexts -- often with disturbing clarity. They are, moreover, replete with that Erasmian irony that so effectively exposed the personal and institutional follies of all parties in the early years of the Reformation.

Erasmus wrote annotations on all the New Testament books, but among them all the annotations on Romans must hold a special place. The Epistle to the Romans has been understood as the classic theological statement by the Apostle to the gentiles of the terms on which Divine grace embraced all human beings. Besides, centuries of reflection have made Romans a focus of debate on central theological issues -- for example, the relation of the Divine Persons, the predestination of the saints, the doctrine of justification. To such problems the sometimes tortured syntax of the Greek has often obscured the clarity sought from the divine Apostle. Erasmus understood that all discussion of Romans must rest upon a sure grasp of the author's intent. His task, therefore, in the Annotations on Romans was to clarify the text of the Epistle, and so to illuminate the vision of Paul.

This translation reveals the annotations as a rich storehouse of methodological discussion and semantic analysis, and a fascinating witness to the theological debates of the early sixteenth century. ... Read more

Product Description

Despite comparisons between Erasmus and Voltaire having become common-place in the course of the nineteenth century, this is the first full study to bring them together in their careers, their works, and their historic afterlives. Each was a force for change in his time and thus ranks among the masters of modern liberalism. Beginning with the continuities between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, award-winning scholar Ricardo J. Quinones joins Erasmus and Voltaire as voices of moderation and reason that remain capable of addressing the philosophical crises of twentieth-century thought.

A companion piece to Dualisms, Quinones' 2007 book, Erasmus and Voltaire differs in method: where its predecessor looked to inveterate, unyielding differences, this new work looks to similarities. In delving beneath the obvious differences between these two intellectual giants, Quinones uncovers the great practical and spiritual vocations that unite them.

Editorial Review

Product Description
First published in Paris in 1511, The Praise of Folly has enjoyed enormous and highly controversial success from the author’s lifetime down to our own day. The Folly has no rival, except perhaps Thomas More’s Utopia, as the most intense and lively presentation of the literary, social, and theological aims and methods of Northern Humanism. Clarence H. Miller’s highly praised translation of The Praise of Folly, based on the definitive Latin text, echoes Erasmus’ own lively style while retaining the nuances of the original text. In his introduction, Miller places the work in the context of Erasmus as humanist and theologian. In a new afterword, William H. Gass playfully considers the meaning, or meanings, of folly and offers fresh insights into one of the great books of Western literature. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Hypocrisy and Wanton behavior
by those who are entrusted with responsibility: Prince-Kings, Pope- Cardinals, and even a monk should go after their duties in a more Spartan manner. To hold a responsibility and have others count on you should mean one behaves without frugality and strict prudence. Erasmus of Rotterdam makes the argument that those who should be the most serious live their life with the most disregard. Folly can be and is often outright criminal behavior. Folly can be the most serious of sin.To live a life of drunkenness, whoring, or financially ripping people off. Folly may be the misuse of office. Folly can be the outright pursuit of trivia and distraction. When position entrust you with the well being of others being lazy, getting up late, not being at work, spending your days eating, being entertained , and fill your days personal pursuits is all folly. To represent you as working and leading the government is hypocrisy. The same can be said for leading the church.

Erasmus of Rotterdam is also highly critical of the monastic life. Not as one who avoids hard work. He does accuse a certain segment as doing such; But also to argue if one follows the letter of discipline as just as much folly because the participant does not work either to further God's Kingdom or the general well being on earth. He accuses the participants of being self absorbed and not really humble.Highly critical of monks and monastic life as not being self sacrificing, but self gratifying: To be perceived as wise but in truth teaching trivia. To follow the trivia of the monastery but to be disobedient to God's Will.

The author is also highly critical of certain teachings of the Church as Folly. He argues the Theological teaching Transubstantiation as folly. He also argues the Church use of dispensation and time off from purgatory is folly. The pursuit of financial gain individually is folly. To misinform people so the infrastructure of the Church can be stronger is folly. He does the same with Prince and King. To this he argues the going to war and to build up armies so he and others can live for glory is all but folly. He also argues the misuse of the general welfare of it all.

The argument is made what is wise to man is foolishness to God. What is wise to God is foolishness to man. Yes this is in the Bible. Did Paul actually argue that all things consider prudent by the heathen would be foolish to those that follow Christ? I would argue no. Did Paul argue that certain teachings by Paul through the power of the Holy Spirit are wise, but would be perceived as purely stupid by those who do not know Christ as Savior? Does the Pagan hold and express certain ideas that contradict with what is taught in the Bible? Does the Pagan consider such thoughts as wise? Do certain Christians agree as not to appear foolish in the Pagan's eyes? I argue Erasmus misuses the argument of Folly and Foolishness.

Praise of Folly seems overly self gratuitous to the author and critical of others to make himself seem better. The argument is made, just not well. It could have been clearer and less self congratulating: Maybe the comedic intent. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Spanning the period of 1523 to 1534, the compositions in Volume 78 of the Collected Works of Erasmus detail Erasmus' theological disagreements with the Swiss and Upper German 'evangelicals' and the German Lutherans, including Luther himself. While volumes 76 and 77 of the series focus on the controversy with Luther over the "freedom of the will," the wider lens of this volume also captures the conflicts between Erasmus and contemporaries such as Hutten, Eppendorf, Oecolampadius, Capito, and Bucer.

These writings reveal the dialogue between Erasmus and those evangelicals who had appropriated and adapted his views on the Eucharist and set forth his defense of the toleration of heretics and a point-by-point rebuttal of Luther's ultimate accusations, which had rejected Erasmus as a Christian. Throughout, the original words of Erasmus are presented in contemporary English translation by eminent scholars of sixteenth-century studies, who also discuss the historical and theological contexts of the controversies.

Product Description
Desiderius Erasmus was the most brilliant and most important leader of German humanism, born at Rotterdam, Holland, probably in 1466, and died at Basle, Switzerland, in 1536.

When nine years old he was sent to the school of the celebrated humanist Hegius at Deventer, where his taste for humanism was awakened and his powers of mind received their bent for life.The most brilliant qualities of his intellect, a wonderful memory and an extraordinarily quick power of comprehension, showed themselves even in this his earliest training.

At the time of original publication in 1904, William Harrison Woodward was Professor of Education at the University of Liverpool. ... Read more
