Beschreibung
Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam was a transformative figure of the Renaissance, whose ideas challenged the religious and intellectual boundaries of his time. In an era marked by religious zeal and emerging humanism, Erasmus stood as a thinker between worlds, striving for a profound renewal of Christian doctrine. This book takes readers through Erasmus's life and work—from his early years in monastic life to his groundbreaking writings that made classical texts and Scripture accessible to a wider audience. Through pointed satire and keen critique, he called for a moral and spiritual transformation of society without entirely breaking from the Catholic Church. Amidst the tensions of the Reformation, Erasmus held firm to his ideal of a "Philosophy of Christ"—a peaceful, reasoned faith centered on wisdom and compassion. Sebastian J. Visher recounts the journey of a scholar who built bridges between faith and knowledge, whose works as the "Prince of Humanists" laid the foundations for a new, humanist worldview. Erasmus of Rotterdam celebrates the life and lasting impact of a man whose ideas and writings reshaped Europe and the world.
