Podcasts about desiderius erasmus

There was no man better prepared to print the Greek New Testament than Desiderius Erasmus. His training and teachers prepared him for this monumental task. In his work, Erasmus held to the veracity of Scriptures over the traditions of the Catholic church. It was this stand that allowed him to correctly compile the Word of God.

Desiderius Erasmus en Maarten Luther discussieerden al met elkaar over deze vraag. Vaak praten we in deze discussie langs elkaar heen omdat we met "vrije wil" verschillende dingen bedoelen. In deze video zoomen we in op wat de Bijbel zegt over de vrije wil van de mens in relatie tot zijn/haar onderliggende natuur.Deze video bevat wat moeilijke termen, die ik geprobeerd heb zo goed mogelijk uit te leggen. Voor wie vindt dat mijn video's te ingewikkeld zijn: bedenk wel dat we volgens de Schrift geroepen zijn om God lief te hebben met heel ons verstand. En dat daarom een stuk verstandelijke uitdaging ook de bedoeling is van mijn video's. Muziek: Khi Rho Beats

Deze week in Wat blijft: wie was Margaretha van Parma (1522-1586)? Deze buitenechtelijke dochter van keizer Karel V groeide uit tot een van de meest besproken en machtigste vrouwen van Italië en werd in 1559 landvoogdes van de Nederlanden, in de turbulente tijd aan het begin van de Tachtigjarige Oorlog. Toch bleef zij lang onderbelicht in de geschiedenisboeken. Te gast is Katrien Lichtert, doctor in de kunstgeschiedenis. Zij deed internationaal onderzoek naar de levensloop van Margaretha van Parma en is curator van de tentoonstelling 'Margaretha. Keizersdochter tussen Macht en Imago' in het MOU Museum Oudenaarde. In het tweede uur en de podcast van Wat blijft: In de podcast Wat blijft hoor je de komende twaalf weken de serie Grote Geesten, over indrukwekkende denkers uit de geschiedenis. Van Aristoteles tot Hannah Arendt en van Simone de Beauvoir tot James Baldwin. Wat kunnen we leren van hun leven en denken? Wat hebben wij te danken aan deze grote geesten? En hoe leven zij voort in onze samenleving?    In de eerste aflevering volgt Stine Jensen het spoor terug van Desiderius Erasmus. Met satire en spot vocht hij als schrijver en denker in de zestiende eeuw tegen misstanden in de kerk. Zijn gedachtegoed lijkt actueler dan ooit. Zo verzette hij zich tegen dogmatisch denken en mensen die zich opsluiten in hun eigen gelijk, vertelt hoogleraar intellectuele geschiedenis Han van Ruler. En in zijn boek Lof der Zotheid laat Erasmus zien hoe humor, ironie en zelfkritiek onontbeerlijk zijn. Hoogleraar Ronald van Raak: “Hij zag dat als het cement tussen de stenen, het houdt de samenleving in verband.” Bovendien: Als je mensen echt wil snappen moet je naar hun dwaasheden kijken. Rapper Adison Dos Reis maakte recent kennis met Erasmus en was meteen fan. Hij liet zich inspireren tot een speciaal Erasmus-lied waarin hij rapt hoe Erasmus en hij hetzelfde pad bewandelden als ‘bastaard' in Rotterdam, maar zeker ook als het gaat om autonomie en spelen met taal als woordkunstenaar. En Sanne Steen vertelt bij het standbeeld van Erasmus voor de Laurenskerk over zijn betekenis voor Rotterdam.

In the culminating fifth lecture of the Sophia Lecture series, Professor Douglas Hedley culminates his exploration by delving into play's theological dimension, engaging with Marsilio Ficino, Desiderius Erasmus, and Plotinus to dissect 'serious play', a pivotal concept in Renaissance thought. Throughout the lecture series, Hedley has traversed play's philosophical terrain, examining its roots, the vital role of language in human development, the journey into self-awareness, and the allure of aesthetics. In this lecture, he weaves together the interplay of wisdom and play within cultural narratives, delves into Plotinus' portrayal of the cosmos as a divine ballet, and highlights the synergy between divine ecstasy and human creativity. Additionally, he probes the impact of symbolic play in spiritual realms and underscores the critical role of femininity in the discourse on wisdom and play. Professor Hedley's contributions provide a rich, interconnected view of play as a gateway to a deeper understanding of our selves and the cosmos.   Douglas Hedley is a Professor in the Philosophy of Religion at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow at Clare College. His work spans the fields of philosophy, theology, and psychology, focusing on the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern thought.   Glossary of Terms   Kenosis: The self-emptying of one's own will and becoming entirely receptive to God's divine will.

I have always loved art. I began my college career as an artist before moving to journalism, but my fascination has always remained with the visual arts. I love going to museums and when something attracts my attention, I often do deep research into the subject until I have reached satisfaction. One such personal pursuit has been my longtime passion for studying “The Juggler” (aka “The Conjurer”) by Hieronymus Bosch. I have given lectures on this painting to magicians and to museum docents. So imagine my great thrill to meet and to have this meaningful conversation with Dr. Steffen Taut from Dresden who is an expert in ancient magic art.Thanks to an introduction by Richard Hatch at the recent Magic Collectors Expo, we sat down to record a scholarly talk about our mutual passion and more. This should be like listening to a college professor after class talking with one of his students. I know you will learn a lot from this week's episode and I guarantee you'll enjoy it, or you get your money back! View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize During the first half of our conversation, Dr. Taut talks about Djedi, magician to Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops), as well as some of the “magic” he created (like severing and restoring the head of a bull, and switching heads between a duck and a chicken), plus how some of the court magicians were less than ethical in their conduct. Dr. Taut also goes into some detail about the Westcar Papyrus which has only been discovered some 200 years ago but tells us so much about Egyptian magic in Pharaoh's courts. The second part of our chat goes into the 1502 painting by Hieronymus Bosch known to us today as “The Conjurer.” There is a lot of symbolism in this painting and an interesting history of what was going on with the Church at the time that led to Bosch creating this painting.

Desiderius Erasmus is one of the most important figures in the history of the Protestant Reformation. He was a key thinker, and the compiler of many of the manuscripts that were used in translating the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into languages of the people. He was also in communication with many of the key figures of the reformation, like Martin Luther. And yet, Erasmus stopped short of being a Reformer. In this episode, I speak with Shane Angland about this intriguing person, what contributions he made, and why he fell short. Shane Angland is from Ennis, Ireland and holds a Masters of Divinity from Dallas Theological Seminary.

Clare and Colin begin their twelve-part series on satire with the big question: what is satire? Where did it come from? Is it a genre, or more of a style, or an attitude? They then plunge into their first text, The Praise of Folly by Desiderius Erasmus, a prose satire from 1511 that lampoons pretty much the whole of sixteenth century life in the voice of Folly herself. This is an extract from the episode.

Jonathan and Ryan turn to a set of selections from the Prince of Humanists himself, Desiderius Erasmus. In Liber Antibarbarorum, Erasmus pillories the precious Christians who refuse to read pagan authors on account of their own squeamish consciences. In Education of a Christian Prince, and On the Education of Children, Erasmus gives principled arguments for humanistic education and practical advice for those responsible for carrying it out.Roland Bainton's Erasmus of Christendom: https://amzn.to/3v8NlTCDesiderius Erasmus' Praise of Folly: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780691165646Desiderius Erasmus' Education of a Christian Prince: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780521588119Luther and Erasmus: Free Will and Salvation: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780664241582Richard M.

June 22: Saints John Fisher, Bishop and Martyr, and Thomas More, Martyr John Fisher: 1469–1535; Thomas More: 1478–1535 Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: Red Patron Saint of the Diocese of Rochester (Fisher) and of lawyers and politicians (More)  They would not bend to the marriage  In 1526 a German painter named Hans Holbein could not find work in Basel, Switzerland. The Reformation had come to town. It shattered the stained glass, burned the wooden statues, and sliced up the oil paintings. Protestants don't “do” great art. There were no more commissions. So Holbein went north, to Catholic England, in search of wealthy patrons for his craft. On his way, he passed through the Netherlands to procure letters of introduction from the great humanist Desiderius Erasmus. Erasmus was a friend of Sir Thomas More, an English humanist of the highest caliber. And thus it came to pass that one fine day, in England in 1527, Thomas More sat patiently while Holbein's brush worked its magic. Holbein's extraordinary portrait of Thomas More captures the man for all seasons, as one contemporary called More, at the pinnacle of his powers. More's head and torso fill the frame. There is no need for context, landscape, or a complex backdrop. More's mind is what matters. He is what matters. Nothing else. The shimmering velvet of his robes, the weighty gold chain of office resting on his shoulders, the detailed rose badge of the House of Tudor lying on his chest, all tell the viewer something important—this is not a frivolous man. He serves the King. His work is consequential. He also wears a ring. He is married and has children. He dons a cap. It is England, and he is cold. His stubble is visible. He is tired from overwork and did not have time to shave. He holds a small slip of paper—perhaps a bribe he rejected. His gaze, slightly off center, is earnest, serious, and calm. It is almost as if he is searching the room, attentive to any threat lurking behind the painter. He is watchful. The entirety of the work conveys that elusive quality that denotes great art—interior movement. The gears of More's brain are rotating. His personality has force. The viewer feels it. Saint Thomas More was the greatest Englishman of his generation. In a land with a highly educated aristocratic class, his erudition was unequalled. He was a devoted family man who carried out an extensive correspondence with his children and ensured that his daughters were as well educated as his sons. He served the English crown faithfully both at home and abroad. He charmed his many friends with a rich and engaging personality. He published scholarly works and communicated with other humanists of his era. Yet despite all of these accomplishments, the fraught times he lived in eventually overwhelmed him. He could not save his own head. More was a thoughtful and serious Catholic. He refused to bend to the will of King Henry VIII regarding divorce and Henry's self-appointment as head of the Church in England. For his silence, or lack of explicit support for Henry, More was brought to court, where a perjurer's words knifed him in the heart. More was condemned to death by beheading. This was a favor from the King, who admired More but could not brook his dissent. More had originally been sentenced to a far crueler form of capital punishment, but Henry decreed that his life end with one blow of the axe. So the unconquered Thomas More climbed a shaky scaffold on July 6, 1535, and had his head lopped off. His head was stuck on a pole on London bridge for one month afterward, a trophy to barbarity. More died a martyr to the indissolubility of marriage. Saint John Fisher was an academic who held various high positions at the University of Cambridge, one of the two universities in all of England, eventually becoming its Chancellor for life. He was a Renaissance humanist, like Thomas More, who encouraged the study of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Fisher was the personal tutor of Henry VIII when Henry was a boy, and he preached the funeral homily of Henry's father, Henry VII. John Fisher lived a life of extreme personal austerity and even placed a human skull on the table during meals to remind himself of his eventual end. He had many of the same qualities as More—great learning, personal uprightness, and academic accomplishments. But easy times don't make martyrs. When King Henry wanted to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, Fisher became her most ardent supporter. He openly stated in court that he would die for the indissolubility of marriage, thus incurring the lasting wrath of his former pupil Henry. All the bishops of England, save Fisher and two others, lost their courage and acquiesced, without a fight, to Henry VIII's takeover of the Catholic Church in England. Their weakness brought to a sudden, crashing end a thousand years of Catholicism in England. The faith endured in some form, of course, but would never be the culture-forming force it had been for so many centuries. It is an embarrassment of Catholic history that almost all the bishops of England fell like dominoes, one after another, at one slight puff of the breath of King Henry VIII on their cheeks. After various nefarious machinations, John Fisher was imprisoned in the harshest of conditions for over a year, even being deprived access to a priest. During this time, the Pope named him a cardinal, although Henry refused him the ceremonial placing of the red hat on his head. After a brief trial with the usual perjury, Cardinal John Fisher was beheaded on June 22, 1535. In order to avoid inevitable comparisons between Cardinal Fisher and John the Baptist, King Henry moved the cardinal's execution to avoid any connection to June 24th's Feast of Saint John the Baptist. Both Johns were martyrs to marriage. But there was no silver platter for John Fisher. His head was placed on a pole on London bridge for two weeks, only to be replaced by Thomas More's head. Saints John Fisher and Thomas More were beatified in 1886 along with fifty-four other English martyrs. The two were canonized together in 1935. Saints John Fisher and Thomas More, through your intercession, give all Catholics courage to resist the pressure to conform to falsehood, to the broad way, to popular opinion. You were both thoughtful and granite-like in your resistance. Help us to be likewise when times call for such.

The episode discusses Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam and his work, Praise of Folly. It covers Erasmus' background, including his parentage, his education by the Brethren of the Common Life and at the University of Paris, and some of the key people who influenced his Renaissance Humanism. The episode then discusses aspects of Praise of Folly that point to some of Erasmus' views on religion and society in the 16th century. Finally, in light of Erasmus' background and his stances in Praise of Folly, the episode discusses the significance of Erasmus' influence on the subsequent reformations.

In Praise of Folly Illustrated with Many Curious Cuts

Hij wordt geclaimd door protestanten, katholieken en atheïsten: Erasmus. Zonder twijfel een van de grote denkers van de geschiedenis en een van Nederlands meest bekende schrijvers. Desiderius Erasmus was humanist, priester, filosoof, theoloog. pedagoog en raadsheer van kardinalen, koningen en keizers. Maar hij heeft ook iets ongrijpbaars. Was hij revolutionair of juist laf? Was hij vooral een criticus van religie of een diepgelovig man? En wat kunnen we vandaag van hem leren? Heel veel, zegt onze gast Ronald van Raak. Hij was 15 jaar Tweede Kamerlid van de SP en is tegenwoordig hoogleraar Erasmiaanse waarden aan de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. Daar vertaalt hij het gedachtegoed van Erasmus naar actuele thema's van vandaag, bijvoorbeeld over vrijheid, satire en cancelcultuur.  Van Raak is een erg enthousiaste en bevlogen verteller, dat ga je horen, in gesprek met David Boogerd en natuurlijk vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas van de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Kampen-Utrecht.

"A nail is driven out by another nail. Habit is overcome by habit. ~Desiderius Erasmus Visit: https://everythingastory.com "EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY" a recent #1 Amazon Hot New Release! When it comes to mastering your habits, knowing how to eliminate bad habits is essential. In Season 6, "How to track negative habits," covered a few ways to kill negative habits. In this episode, MG reviews the critical importance of replacement as a core strategy for habit elimination. The listener is challenged to focus on developing a positive habit that will replace the negative one.   "You should concentrate and track the POSITIVE habit you are interested in cultivating in order to replace the negative habit." 
 Habits do not exist in a vacuum. Thus, the classic quotation by Dutch philosopher Desiderius Erasmus, "A nail is driven out by another nail. Habit is overcome by habit." 
 Another essential strategy is to assess your environment with respect to the bad habit. There's a reason the term "habitat" is used to describe one's surroundings.  
 Your environment significantly impacts your behaviors. Taking control of your environment and adding impediments that make the negative habit harder to execute goes a long way to making the cultivation of the new habits easier. Enjoy the show!

In this episode of the Ps+ we'll discuss the origins of the Textus Receptus and learn about Desiderius Erasmus' Greek editions of the New Testament.

Eindelijk, we bespreken een Nederlander. We kennen de naam 'Erasmus' allemaal, maar waar gaat de 'Lof der Zotheid' precies over? Waarom steekt Erasmus een loftompret voor de 'Zotheid' af? Welke boodschap gaat in zijn ironie schuil? Hoe verhoudt dit geschrift zich tot de ontwikkelingen van de Reformatie? Je hoort het hier! Ik gebruik voor deze podcast ‘Lof der Zotheid', geschreven door Desiderius Erasmus, vertaald door Harm-Jan van Dam, uitgegeven bij Athenaeum—Polak & Van Gennep, Amsterdam, 2016, achttiende druk.

Martin Luther once slammed Desiderius Erasmus by saying:"Your thoughts of God are too human."Luther was right, but then again, so too were his thoughts of God too human. This is true for all of us but, for some, more terminally  true - for those who think they know God when they do not.

June 22: Saints John Fisher, Bishop and Martyr, & Thomas More, MartyrJohn Fisher: 1469–1535; Thomas More: 1478–1535Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: RedPatron Saint of the Diocese of Rochester (Fisher) and of lawyers and politicians (More) They would not bend to the marriage In 1526 a German painter named Hans Holbein could not find work in Basel, Switzerland. The Reformation had come to town. It shattered the stained glass, burned the wooden statues, and sliced up the oil paintings. Protestants don't “do” great art. There were no more commissions. So Holbein went north, to Catholic England, in search of wealthy patrons for his craft. On his way, he passed through the Netherlands to procure letters of introduction from the great humanist Desiderius Erasmus. Erasmus was a friend of Sir Thomas More, an English humanist of the highest caliber. And thus it came to pass that one fine day, in England in 1527, Thomas More sat patiently while Holbein's brush worked its magic.Holbein's extraordinary portrait of Thomas More captures the man for all seasons, as one contemporary called More, at the pinnacle of his powers. More's head and torso fill the frame. There is no need for context, landscape, or a complex backdrop. More's mind is what matters. He is what matters. Nothing else. The shimmering velvet of his robes, the weighty gold chain of office resting on his shoulders, the detailed rose badge of the House of Tudor lying on his chest, all tell the viewer something important—this is not a frivolous man. He serves the King. His work is consequential. He also wears a ring. He is married and has children. He dons a cap. It is England, and he is cold. His stubble is visible. He is tired from overwork and did not have time to shave. He holds a small slip of paper—perhaps a bribe he rejected. His gaze, slightly off center, is earnest, serious, and calm. It is almost as if he is searching the room, attentive to any threat lurking behind the painter. He is watchful. The entirety of the work conveys that elusive quality that denotes great art—interior movement. The gears of More's brain are rotating. His personality has force. The viewer feels it.Saint Thomas More was the greatest Englishman of his generation. In a land with a highly educated aristocratic class, his erudition was unequalled. He was a devoted family man who carried out an extensive correspondence with his children and ensured that his daughters were as well educated as his sons. He served the English crown faithfully both at home and abroad. He charmed his many friends with a rich and engaging personality. He published scholarly works and communicated with other humanists of his era. Yet despite all of these accomplishments, the fraught times he lived in eventually overwhelmed him. He could not save his own head.More was a thoughtful and serious Catholic. He refused to bend to the will of King Henry VIII regarding divorce and Henry's self-appointment as head of the Church in England. For his silence, or lack of explicit support for Henry, More was brought to court, where a perjurer's words knifed him in the heart. More was condemned to death by beheading. This was a favor from the King, who admired More but could not brook his dissent. More had originally been sentenced to a far crueler form of capital punishment, but Henry decreed that his life end with one blow of the axe. So the unconquered Thomas More climbed a shaky scaffold on July 6, 1535, and had his head lopped off. His head was stuck on a pole on London bridge for one month afterward, a trophy to barbarity. More died a martyr to the indissolubility of marriage.Saint John Fisher was an academic who held various high positions at the University of Cambridge, one of the two universities in all of England, eventually becoming its Chancellor for life. He was a Renaissance humanist, like Thomas More, who encouraged the study of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Fisher was the personal tutor of Henry VIII when Henry was a boy, and he preached the funeral homily of Henry's father, Henry VII. John Fisher lived a life of extreme personal austerity and even placed a human skull on the table during meals to remind himself of his eventual end. He had many of the same qualities as More—great learning, personal uprightness, and academic accomplishments.But easy times don't make martyrs. When King Henry wanted to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, Fisher became her most ardent supporter. He openly stated in court that he would die for the indissolubility of marriage, thus incurring the lasting wrath of his former pupil Henry. All the bishops of England, save Fisher and two others, lost their courage and acquiesced, without a fight, to Henry VIII's takeover of the Catholic Church in England. Their weakness brought to a sudden, crashing end a thousand years of Catholicism in England. The faith endured in some form, of course, but would never be the culture-forming force it had been for so many centuries. It is an embarrassment of Catholic history that almost all the bishops of England fell like dominoes, one after another, at one slight puff of the breath of King Henry VIII on their cheeks.After various nefarious machinations, John Fisher was imprisoned in the harshest of conditions for over a year, even being deprived access to a priest. During this time, the Pope named him a cardinal, although Henry refused him the ceremonial placing of the red hat on his head. After a brief trial with the usual perjury, Cardinal John Fisher was beheaded on June 22, 1535. In order to avoid inevitable comparisons between Cardinal Fisher and John the Baptist, King Henry moved the cardinal's execution to avoid any connection to June 24th's Feast of Saint John the Baptist. Both Johns were martyrs to marriage. But there was no silver platter for John Fisher. His head was placed on a pole on London bridge for two weeks, only to be replaced by Thomas More's head. Saints John Fisher and Thomas More were beatified in 1886 along with fifty-four other English martyrs. The two were canonized together in 1935.Saints John Fisher and Thomas More, through your intercession, give all Catholics courage to resist the pressure to conform to falsehood, to the broad way, to popular opinion. You were both thoughtful and granite-like in your resistance. Help us to be likewise when times call for such.

The famous quote, "Women, can't live with them, can't live without them.", from the 14th-century philosopher, Desiderius Erasmus, rings just as true today, as the day he spoke those words. In this episode of the podcast, we discuss things that women wear that they think attracts men, that really repels men. We also discuss things that women do and say that have become normalized in 2022, that men privately dislike. If you want to know what things you do or wear that your friends and society approves of or promotes, that in actuality are pushing men away and keeping you single or in the FWB friends with benefits only category, this podcast is for you! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/whatizhethinking/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/whatizhethinking/support

This week we're going toe-to-toe with the "Prince of the Humanists" himself, Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam. With the guidance of scholar and novelist (and all-around Erasmus junkie) Erika Rummel, we wander along with the great man on his itinerant life and eavesdrop on his irascible contrariness. Gape in wonder as Erasmus applies his philological fury to a 1,000-year overdue update of Jerome! Gasp as Erasmus and Luther trade rap-battle, Marvel super-villain insults! Scratch your head as Dave offers opinions on levitating swimming pools! That may just be some folly worth praising.

Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, comments on a news report by Mark A. Kellner in the Washington Times, “Evangelical Lutheran LGBTQ Ministry Group Suspends First Transgender Bishop” (December 21, 2021). The article states, “A group promoting LGBTQ clergy in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America [ELCA] has suspended its first transgender bishop over allegations of ‘racist words and actions.'” The Renaissance humanist scholar Desiderius Erasmus warned about loosing a floodgate of iniquity. Once you are loosed from the restraining fetters of apostolic tradition, the creeds, and the ecumenical councils, you can re-imagine the church in such a way that it is no longer the hope of civilization but rather becomes a destructive force in civilization. See https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/dec/21/evangelical-lutheran-lgbtq-ministry-group-suspends/

In the early 1500s, Desiderius Erasmus used the recently-invented printing press to produce a printed Greek New Testament which, many years and revisions later, would become known as the Textus Receptus.-----Handouts are available at the -View PDF- link above---

“Holbein was able to combine his ability to create a very believable likeness with these strong design sensibilities, and also an ingenuity, a cleverness, a creativity to create individual portraits of specificity and complexity.” Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/98–1543) depicted some of the most important thinkers and politicians of his day in beautiful, highly individualized portraits. In Basel, he socialized with and painted humanists such as Desiderius Erasmus and Bonifacius Amerbach. In London, he captured nobles and high-ranking officials like Thomas Cromwell and Thomas More. He even became court painter to King Henry VIII in 1536. Holbein also painted many noblewomen, a somewhat unusual practice at the time, paying particular attention to their style of dress. In this episode, Getty paintings curator Anne Woollett discusses the exhibition Holbein: Capturing Character in the Renaissance, the first large-scale presentation of Holbein's work in the United States. Woollett highlights key works in the exhibition, placing them in the context of Holbein's milieu and career. The exhibition is on view at the Getty Center through January 9, 2022 before traveling to the Morgan Library & Museum, New York, in February 2022.

Zieht die AfD nach der Bundestagswahl erneut in den Deutschen Bundestag ein, hat sie Anspruch auf Steuermillionen für ihre parteinahe Desiderius-Erasmus-Stiftung. Doch gegen eine solche staatliche Förderung regt sich Widerstand. Autor: Ingo Zander Von Ingo Zander.

What should Anabaptists (and Protestants) learn from this scholar who stayed with the Catholic church? Why did Erasmus refuse to leave his church? Stephen Russell tells about the life, writings, and convictions of Desiderius Erasmus. “Looking at one man like this, Erasmus, who did not become a protestant and did not become an Anabaptist and yet greatly shaped both: I think it should help us realize we need to try to understand history, understand people where they were, and see how that can help us understand our own roots and understand where we are today.” Read Erasmus' and Luther's discourse on the will: https://amzn.to/2VokF7x This is the 142nd episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.

Nowhere does the Bible threaten to erase people's names from the book of life. --The idea that Revelation 22-19 teaches this is based on a scribal error in some copies of Jerome's Latin Bible -A.D. 382-405-. In 1516, with pressure to beat others into print and lacking a complete Greek manuscript of the book of Revelation, Desiderius Erasmus simply made up his own Greek text by translating this erring Latin manuscript into Greek. Pope Clement VIII made an erring Latin text the official Bible of the Catholic Church in 1592, until it was corrected following Vatican II.--But Revelation 3-5 promises that true Christians will never have their names blotted out of the Book of Life. The powerful Greek double negative Jesus uses there is the same one he used in John 6-37, when he promised he would never cast out anyone who came to him.--Revelation 17-8 states that our names were written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world. In other words, we do not write our names there, God the Father did that before the worlds began.--Revelation 20-11-15 mentions the Book of Life twice. From there we learn that no one is good enough to escape hell. People's thoughts, words, and deeds are recorded against them -Revelation 20-12-, and everyone will be cast into the Lake of Fire, except for those whose names are recorded in the Book of Life -Revelation 20-15-.--Revelation 21-27 states clearly that the only people who will enter heaven are those whose names are in that book.

Desiderius Erasmus was priester, theoloog, schrijver, filosoof... Tja, wat eigenlijk niet? Dr. Sandra Langereis schreef een biografie over een van onze belangrijkste vrijdenkers. Een zoektocht naar parallellen tussen de opiniemaker van 500 jaar geleden en nu. Deze keer niet met Jort maar met dr. Rosanne Hertzberger. 

Dr Kelder is buitengaards en dus zit er een echte wetenschapper op de presentatiestoel: dr Rosanne Hertzberger. Zij voert een gesprek over Desiderius Erasmus, een van de belangrijkste vrijdenkers uit onze geschiedenis. En: de wetenschapper onderzoekt graag zijn eigen hobby, passie of interesse. Is dat erg? 

The “learned piety” of Desiderius Erasmus, the greatest figure of northern humanism.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Trans-Siberian Orchestra ( TSO ) es una banda de rock estadounidense fundada en 1996 por el productor, compositor y letrista Paul O'Neill , que reunió a Jon Oliva y Al Pitrelli (ambos miembros de Savatage ) y al tecladista y coproductor. Robert Kinkel para formar el núcleo del equipo creativo. O'Neill murió el 5 de abril de 2017. La banda ganó popularidad cuando comenzaron a viajar en 1999 después de completar su segundo álbum, The Christmas Attic , el año anterior. En 2007, el Washington Post se refirió a ellos como "un monstruo de arena-rock " y describió su música como "Pink Floyd se encuentra con Yes and the Who en el Radio City Music Hall ". TSO ha vendido más de 10 millones de entradas para conciertos y más de 10 millones de álbumes. La banda ha lanzado una serie de óperas de rock : Christmas Eve y otras historias , El ático de Navidad , La última noche de Beethoven , La víspera de Navidad perdida , su Night Castle de dos discos y Letters From the Labyrinth . Trans-Siberian Orchestra también es conocida por su extenso trabajo de caridad y elaborados conciertos, que incluyen una sección de cuerdas, un espectáculo de luces, láseres, trusses móviles, pantallas de video y efectos sincronizados con la música. Tanto la revista Billboard como Pollstar las han clasificado como una de las diez bandas con mayor venta de entradas en la primera década del nuevo milenio. Su camino hacia el éxito fue inusual en el sentido de que, según O'Neill, TSO es la primera banda de rock importante en ir directamente a los teatros y arenas, sin haber tocado nunca en un club, sin haber tenido un acto de apertura y nunca siendo un acto de apertura. Paul O'Neill dirigió y produjo bandas de rock como Aerosmith , Humble Pie , AC / DC , Joan Jett y Scorpions , y luego produjo y coescribió álbumes de la banda de metal progresivo Savatage , donde comenzó a trabajar con Jon Oliva (quien se había ido Savatage para pasar tiempo con su familia y ocuparse de asuntos personales), Al Pitrelli y Robert Kinkel . O'Neill dio sus primeros pasos en la música rock en la década de 1970 cuando comenzó el rock progresivo.banda Slowburn, de la que fue letrista y co-compositor. Lo que estaba destinado a ser el álbum debut de la banda fue grabado en Jimi Hendrix 's estudios Electric Lady y desarrollado por Dave Wittman. Aunque la ingeniería de Wittman capturaba el sonido exacto que O'Neill escuchaba en su cabeza, O'Neill tenía problemas con él porque muchas de sus melodías tenían entre dos y tres octavas. En lugar de lanzar un álbum con el que no estaba contento, dejó de lado el proyecto, pero continuó trabajando en la industria en Contemporary Communications Corporation (también conocida como Leber & Krebs). A lo largo de los años, O'Neill continuó trabajando como escritor, productor, gerente y promotor de conciertos. En 1996, aceptó la oferta de Atlantic Records de formar su propia banda. Construyó la banda sobre una base creada por la unión de la música clásica y el rock y los artistas que idolatraba ( Emerson, Lake & Palmer , Queen , Yes , The Who y Pink Floyd , y bandas de hard rock como Aerosmith y Led Zeppelin y los múltiples vocalistas principales de los grupos de R&B The Temptations y The Four Tops). Trajo a Oliva, Kinkel y Pitrelli para ayudar a iniciar el proyecto. O'Neill ha declarado: "Mi concepto original era seis óperas de rock, una trilogía sobre Navidad y tal vez uno o dos álbumes regulares" Su álbum debut, la primera entrega de la pretendida trilogía navideña, fue una ópera rock llamada Nochebuena y otras historias , y fue lanzado en 1996. Sigue siendo uno de sus álbumes más vendidos. Contiene el instrumental " Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12/24 " que apareció originalmente en la ópera rock de Savatage , Dead Winter Dead , una historia sobre la guerra de Bosnia. Su lanzamiento de 1998 The Christmas Attic , la secuela de Christmas Eve and Other Stories siguió un formato similar. Este álbum produjo el éxito " Christmas Canon ", una versión del Canon en re mayor de Johann Pachelbel .con letras y nuevas melodías añadidas. The Christmas Attic se presentó por primera vez en vivo en 2014. La última noche de Beethoven fue escrita y grabada en 1998 y 1999 y entregada a Atlantic Records a fines de 1999 para su lanzamiento en 2000. La historia comienza cuando Mephistopheles aparece antes que Beethoven, a quien Paul O'Neill se refiere como "la primera estrella de rock pesado del mundo". para recoger el alma del gran compositor. Por supuesto, Beethoven está horrorizado ante la idea de la condenación eterna, pero el diablo tiene una oferta y comienza la negociación. Hay numerosos giros en la trama, incluido el destino de su música y el final se basa en un hecho cierto pero poco conocido sobre Beethoven. También en 1998, a petición de Scott Shannon de WPLJ , actuaron en vivo por primera vez en un concierto benéfico paraHospital de niños de Blythedale . En 1999, a instancias de Bill Louis, un DJ de WNCX en Cleveland, hicieron su primera gira, durante la cual debutaron secciones de Last Night de Beethoven . Interpretaron el álbum en su totalidad por primera vez durante la gira de primavera de 2010. En octubre de 2011, Beethoven's Last Night fue lanzado en Europa para coincidir con su gira europea con una nueva portada de Greg Hildebrandt y las páginas de poesía faltantes del lanzamiento original. Las canciones de Mephistopheles son cantadas por Jon Oliva . Para coincidir con la gira de primavera de 2012, Atlantic / Rhino / Warner Brothers Record lanzó Last Night: The Complete Narrated Version de Beethoven . [17] [18]Esta edición de lujo de dos discos incluye toda la música del lanzamiento original y, por primera vez, la narración presentada durante las presentaciones en vivo del álbum. Viene empaquetado con un folleto lleno de ilustraciones de la historia de Hildebrandt, además de la letra y la narración completas. La narración está a cargo de Bryan Hicks, quien ha estado manejando la narración en vivo en las giras de este álbum. El creador Paul O'Neill explica: "Así es como siempre imaginé que se experimentaría la historia. Donde el oyente pueda relajarse, cerrar los ojos y, en cuestión de minutos, pasear por las calles de la Viena del siglo XIX con Beethoven en la última gran aventura de su vida. Siempre que la banda estaba fuera de la carretera, regresaban al estudio y en 2004 completaban The Lost Christmas Eve , la última entrega de la Trilogía de Navidad. Es una historia de pérdida y redención que abarca un hotel ruinoso, una vieja tienda de juguetes, un bar de blues, una catedral gótica y sus respectivos habitantes, todos entrelazados en una sola Nochebuena encantada en la ciudad de Nueva York. Al año siguiente, combinaron los tres álbumes de Navidad y los lanzaron en una caja titulada The Christmas Trilogy, que también contenía un DVD de su especial de televisión de 1999 The Ghosts of Christmas Eve (cada uno de los álbumes sigue estando disponible individualmente .) La Nochebuena Perdidase presentó por primera vez en vivo en 2012, seguida de una gira encore en 2013. Los críticos una vez más lo llamaron "espectacularidad impresionante" "que incluía todos los trucos conocidos por el hombre, incluyendo pirotecnia masiva, láseres espectaculares, escenarios que se ciernen sobre el audiencia, cantantes de apoyo calientes mientras se conectan constantemente con su audiencia. Después de unos pocos años de gira, Night Castle , el quinto álbum de Trans-Siberian Orchestra, fue lanzado el 27 de octubre de 2009 y fue bien recibido por fanáticos y críticos por igual. Debutó en el puesto número 5 en las listas de álbumes de Billboard . Fue certificado oro en ocho semanas y ahora es platino. "Su trabajo más ambicioso y aventurero hasta la fecha. Abarca desde el hard rock hasta el clásico, llevando al oyente a un viaje a través de la historia que detalla los triunfos y las locuras del hombre, pero en última instancia es una historia de transformación y amor". Inicialmente destinado a ser su primera ópera regular, no rock, que consta de un álbum de diez canciones independientes, O'Neill le da crédito a la persistencia de Jon Oliva de que era demasiado pronto para tal movimiento y que el quinto álbum tenía que ser una ópera rock. Insistiendo en que "TSO no era como cualquier otra banda y que los fans esperaban una historia. Fue un poco de cambio de roles porque cuando estábamos trabajando en Savatage, siempre quise hacer un disco conceptual". El conjunto de dos discos incluye una versión de " O Fortuna " de Carmina Burana de Carl Orff , que fue vista previa en vivo por la banda durante sus giras 2004-2008. Una versión MP3 del álbum lanzada a través de Amazon.comcontiene una pista adicional titulada "El vuelo de Cassandra". La primera mitad es una ópera rock sobre una niña de siete años en una playa que conoce a un extraño de la ciudad de Nueva York que le cuenta una historia que la lleva por todo el mundo y a través del tiempo donde se encuentra con varios personajes, muchos de los cuales se basan en personajes históricos como Desiderius Erasmus . La segunda mitad rinde homenaje a las influencias de Trans-Siberian Orchestra. También contiene nuevas versiones de varias canciones de Savatage, así como " Nut Rocker ", originalmente de B. Bumble and the Stingers y que anteriormente se hizo famosa por Emerson, Lake & Palmer , con Greg Lake en el bajo. En febrero de 2011, Night Castle fue lanzado en Europa con dos bonus tracks en vivo ("Requiem" y "Toccata-Carpimus Noctem") añadidos. Ambas pistas en vivo fueron grabadas en la gira de primavera de 2010 en el Verizon Theatre en Grand Prairie , en Texas. Metal Kaoz, lo revisó como un CD de ópera rock doble de dos horas más con "sin relleno" que fluye sin problemas. "Las capas clásicas se encuentran con la belleza de la música Metal y forman la fina mezcla ... una amplia gama de emociones y colores musicales ... pistas que te dejarán boquiabierto. Pulsa play y deambula libremente en TSO's, Night Castle". El 30 de octubre de 2012, Trans-Siberian Orchestra lanzó un nuevo EP de cinco canciones titulado Dreams of Fireflies (On a Christmas Night) en Lava Republic Universal Records. Debutó en la lista de los 200 mejores álbumes de la revista Billboard en el número 9 y el número 1 en las listas de rock. Fue el primer EP de la banda y con un precio de lista de cinco dólares o menos fue la forma en que Trans-Siberian Orchestra dio las gracias a sus fans, En lugar de contener la historia habitual de TSO, era más como un Harry Chapinálbum donde se incluye una historia corta dentro de la canción. Por ejemplo, "Algún día" trata sobre cómo las personas tienden a posponer el agradecimiento a las personas con las que tienen una gran deuda y, con la mejor intención, se dicen a sí mismos que lo harán algún día. Además, cada canción va acompañada de un breve poema. Lanzada el 11 de octubre de 2013, esta colección de quince pistas es la primera colección de grandes éxitos de Trans-Siberian Orchestra e incluye canciones de los seis lanzamientos anteriores. Una vez más, la portada fue proporcionada por Greg Hildebrandt . El 11 de noviembre de 2011, TSO lanzó una nueva pieza coral titulada "Who I Am". Esto se lanzó originalmente como una descarga digital para los fanáticos que compraron boletos a través de la venta anticipada de boletos de la banda, pero ahora está disponible a través de otros sitios de música, además de ser lanzado en su álbum de 2015, Letters from the Labyrinth . La canción se interpretó en vivo como el número de apertura de la gira de invierno de 2011 en reconocimiento a los tiempos difíciles por los que atravesaban muchas personas en el mundo, pero trayendo un mensaje de esperanza al señalar que juntos podemos resolver estos problemas como lo han hecho las generaciones anteriores en el pasado. Fue acompañado por clips de sonido y video de personas que ayudaron a la humanidad a progresar o superar situaciones aparentemente imposibles. La primera cita e imagen fue la voz del reverendo ML King repitiendo "Tengo un sueño ... que todos los hombres serán juzgados por el contenido de su carácter", seguido del desafío inaugural del presidente Kennedy, "No preguntes qué puede hacer tu país por ti ; Pregunta qué puedes hacer por tu país." Incluía fotografías de Jonas Salk, el científico que curó la polio, Santa "Madre" Teresa de Calcuta que pasó su vida cuidando a los no deseados y terminó con Neil Armstrong dando el primer paso en la luna y la cita parafraseada de Gene Kranz de la NASA con respecto a salvando a los astronautas a bordo de la cápsula espacial Apolo 13 dañada, que "el fracaso no es una opción". En 2013, la banda anunció el lanzamiento a fines de noviembre de una novela, Merry Christmas Rabbi . Conocida como la última pieza que falta en la Trilogía de Navidad, es el diario descubierto por la niña en la ópera rock Christmas Attic que conduce a la canción "Dream Child". Los comunicados de prensa lo describieron como "la historia de una fatídica Nochebuena y cómo una de las apuestas más locas en la historia humana conduce a una segunda oportunidad para un joven con problemas que se encuentra más allá del punto sin retorno" O'Neill murió el 5 de abril de 2017, a los 61 años, mientras se hospedaba en un hotel Embassy Suites by Hilton en el campus de la Universidad del Sur de Florida en Tampa. La causa de muerte determinada por la Oficina del Médico Forense del Condado de Hillsborough, Florida , fue la intoxicación por una mezcla de metadona , codeína , Valium y doxilamina y la forma de muerte como abuso de drogas . En junio de 2017, la organización anunció que continuarían con su gira con temas navideños. La historia de Ghosts of Christmas Eve , que habían interpretado en 2015 y 2016, fue anunciada como su historia una vez más para la gira de 2017, David Z, bajista de TSO, murió el 14 de julio de 2017, mientras estaba de gira con Adrenaline Mob para su gira " We The People "; un tractor-remolque se desvió de la Interestatal 75 en Florida y golpeó el vehículo recreativo en el que viajaba Adrenaline Mob. Su compañero TSO y miembro de Adrenaline Mob, Russell Allen , también resultó herido en el accidente.

Caleb and Dr. Paulson talk about Desiderius Erasmus. Erasmus made a great contribution to the reformation with his Greek New Testament and adherence to Northern Humanism. He also ended up being one of Luther’s greatest opponents by cutting to the heart of Luther’s propositions on the human will. Show Notes: Support the Show Outlaw God v1.  

What is reformation day and why do we celebrate it? Find out why as we listen to Dr. Steven Nichols of Ligonier Ministries. What is Reformation Day? To answer that question, let's ask another question. When is Reformation Day? It's October 31; it commemorates the events of October 31, 1517. On that day, Martin Luther, an Augustinian monk, nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany. Now, why would Luther do that? To answer this question, we need to introduce a few more characters. One of those characters was Albert of Brandenburg. Albert was not old enough to be a bishop, yet in 1517, he was already bishop over two cities, which was against church law. On top of that, he wanted to be archbishop of Mainz. To hold three offices was also against church law, which meant that Albert needed a papal dispensation. So now, Pope Leo X enters our story. Leo was from the Medici family of Florence. The Medici were a prominent banking clan and patrons of the arts. It was Leo who brought Michelangelo in to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling in the Vatican. Albert met with Leo about getting a dispensation, and like good businessmen they struck a deal. For ten thousand ducats, Albert could have his three bishoprics. But Albert had a problem: his money was largely in land and not in cash, so he needed to raise the money. The real main character in Reformation Day is not Luther. It's the Word of God. And so another character enters, the enterprising friar Johann Tetzel. He sold indulgences on Albert's behalf, and some of the money went to help Albert pay the cost of becoming archbishop of Mainz. These indulgences were supplied by the pope and not only provided for past sins to be forgiven but for future sins to be forgiven as well. And these indulgences also allowed the buyer to get his relatives out of purgatory. And so Tetzel began selling these indulgences, using a jingle to sell them: “As soon as a coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs.” This development deeply troubled Luther. He saw how these things were contrary to the church's doctrine at the time, and he watched as the people under his care went to buy Tetzel's indulgences. So, he did what a scholar could do. He went into his study and penned his Ninety-Five Theses to invite public debate. He posted the theses on October 31. The very first thesis says this: “Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, when He said ‘Repent,' willed that the whole life of believers should be repentance.” It's fascinating that Luther makes this reference to Jesus' calling people to “repent” in Matthew 4:17. There is something else that came into play here, something else that explains Reformation Day. In 1516, the Greek New Testament was published by the humanist scholar Desiderius Erasmus. And when Luther read the Greek New Testament, he realized that the Latin Vulgate—for centuries, the official text of the church—was wrong. The Vulgate had translated the Greek word in question—rendered in English as “repent”—as “do penance.” This translation had served for centuries to support the Roman Catholic sacramental system. The real main character in Reformation Day is not Luther. It's the Word of God. What Luther discovered as a monk is that for centuries, the true teachings of the Word of God had been hidden by century upon century of tradition. That's what Reformation Day is about: it's about pulling back the covers and releasing the power of the Word of God and the beauty and the truth of the gospel. That's why we celebrate Reformation Day.

Many of us grew up on with King James version of the Bible. But does familiarity equate to exclusivity? Is reading other versions of the Bible OK or is it tantamount to heresy?Show NotesHistoryLatin Vulgate - Bible in Latin;St. Jerome in the 4th centuryGutenberg Bible - later printed on the Johann Gutenberg's invention of the move-able type printing press which became known as the Gutenberg Bible/15th century/1456).In the 16th century 2 printings were commissioned; one by Cardinal Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros in Spain.Johannes Froben and Desiderius Erasmus produce a Greek New Testament before the New Testament of Jimenez could be published.Erasmus first version was printed in 1516 full of errors; he put out 5 versions between 1516 then 1535 attempting to correct his previous versions.The earliest Greek manuscript he had was from 1000ADRobertus Stephanus - 1546 Greek TextTheodore Beza - 1598 Greek NT translationFactsThe sources the translators used for the KJVErasmus' workStephanus' workTheodore Beza's workThey didn't use Greek Manuscripts(handwritten).

"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." Desiderius Erasmus

200409 Maundy Thursday Drive in Service200409 Maundy Thursday bulletinSermon manuscript:About two and a half years ago our church celebrated the 500thanniversary of Martin Luther nailing the 95 theses concerning indulgences to the church door. This marked the beginning of an intense struggle throughout Christendom. Martin Luther’s writings caused much turmoil. Everybody had to take a stand. Was Luther correct or not?There was another man, named Desiderius Erasmus, who was a little older than Luther. He had long been in favor of cleaning up corruption in the Church at that time. For that reason he was sympathetic to some of what Luther was teaching. However, there was a lot that he didn’t like too. In a way he was rather conservative. He wanted to keep the teachings as they were, even if they weren’t biblical, because he feared the strife and dissension that comes with doctrinal controversies.So in 1524 Desiderius Erasmus wrote a short book where he attacked something that Luther had been teaching. Luther taught that we are born with an enslaved will. Erasmus said that we have a free will. This topic is important and beneficial to study. Perhaps we will some time. But I’m not bringing this up to discuss the controversy itself. I want to talk about something Erasmus said against Luther in course of his book.He basically said that Luther was being altogether too certain about what the Bible said. Over the course of history there have been a lot of people who have said different things about what the Bible says about this or that topic. The Bible, he said, was a confusing book. Who can make heads or tails of it? It is best to leave interpretation to the professionals. Let the priests, bishops, and the pope tell us what it all means, because the Bible is basically useless in settling any controversies.This really struck a nerve for Luther. I don’t think Erasmus was prepared for the vehemence with which Luther responded. I think Erasmus thought that all people thought that the Bible was a rather hazy and difficult book whose interpretation was best left to the professionals. Luther said, “No. The Bible is not hazy. The Bible is clear. If there’s anything that’s hazy, then it’s the people who are reading it. You will be better blessed by reading the inspired prophets and apostles than you will with reading all the other stuff that folks have written aboutwhat the Bible says. Each person can and should believe what the Bible says, not what people say.”I agree with Luther: The Bible is clear. It is plain spoken. It doesn’t beat around the bush and leave all kinds of things open to a person’s interpretation. If anything, the Bible is a bit too clear for our liking. People would like it to be less clear so that they can bend and twist it any way they please.I’ll give you a couple examples of the Bible being more explicit than we want it to be. When God called Abraham and his descendants to be his people he gave Abraham the sign of circumcision to accompany it. That means, “Cut off the foreskin from your penis, and cut off the foreskin from all your sons’ and grandsons’ penises eight days after they are born.” Does that make you a little uncomfortable? Well, that’s what circumcision is. I didn’t make it up. It’s right there in Genesis. How does circumcision do anything or benefit anyone? I’m not sure. But that’s what God clearly said.Or one time God told Abraham to take his son, his only son, Isaac, whom he loved, and kill him as a sacrifice on a mountain that God would show him. That’s all too plain in its meaning for our liking. We’d like to turn it into a metaphor or something so that we can safely ignore it. But Abraham believed this word to be true and faithful. He didn’t interpret it out of existence. Let God be true and every man a liar.This is how the Bible is. It records how God deals with people in a very simple way. The problem is that we often have a hard time believing it. But that isn’t God’s fault. Neither is it the Scriptures’ fault. It’s our fault if we don’t believe what God has said.Now let’s talk a little bit about the Lord’s Supper. There are very few things in Christendom that have been fought over more than the Lord’s Supper. What is it? What does it do? Very learned men have written big books about it, arguing with some other guy who wrote big books about it. The different confessions of the Lord’s Supper divide Christendom to this day. Desiderius Erasmus’s solution looks attractive here. For the sake of peace we could maybe say that this is all very confusing and difficult. Who knows what Jesus means when he institutes the Lord’s Supper. Let’s all just agree to disagree.If this were just an earthly and unimportant matter, then such advice would be well taken. If you and I were having an argument over which football team is the best, then it would be wise to set the argument aside if it was causing turmoil and strife.But that’s not the nature of the debate when it comes to the Lord’s Supper. Jesus is speaking plainly and simply. What he says is not difficult to understand so far as the words are concerned. He took break and when he had given thanks, be broke it and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat. This is my body which is given for you. This do in remembrance of me.” In the same way also, he took the cup after supper, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in my blood which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”These words are plain, perhaps all too plain, like the other examples that we looked at. For what does Jesus say? He says, “This bread is my body. I give it for you.” “This wine is my blood. It is the new testament, the new covenant, the new arrangement between God and you.” What is the nature of this arrangement? It is that this blood is shed for the forgiveness of all your sins.Now perhaps you might wonder, “How can the bread of the Lord’s Supper be Christ’s body? How can the wine be his blood? How can forgiveness be so freely dispensed? How can there be such a gracious relationship defined by such a testament between God and the sinner ? Isn’t that too easy?”There are always a thousand and one objections and qualifications that can be raised to make something that is clear seem obscure. This is nothing new. We see this with the first commandment God gave to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. God said not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that they eat of it they would surely. The devil came along and twisted this clear statement. He gets the ball rolling by saying, “Did God really say that you couldn’t eat from any tree in the garden? What an odd thing for God to say. You must not be interpreting it right.” Then the serpent followed this up with an explanation that seemed more plausible and believable than the plain words that God originally spoke. In this way Adam and Eve were deceived and thereby robbed of the peace and joy that they used to have in their Creator.Don’t let anyone rob you of the peace and joy that God offers to you with the plain words of the Lord’s Supper. The body that hung on the cross is given to you to eat in, with, and under the bread. The blood of the Lamb of God that was shed on the cross, stilling the wrath of God against sin, is given you to drink in, with, and under the wine. The peace between God and man that was lost by the fall into sin is restored by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. This same Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when he was betrayed, gave his disciples this gift, and told them to continue to give this to Jesus’s disciples in remembrance of him. And so Jesus’s disciples have continued to do this according to the Lord’s plain command. So this sacrament also comes to you. The peace and joy that Adam and Eve were robbed of is given to you in the Sacrament. It is the new arrangement between God and you. It forgives your sins. Having received this gift you should believe that God looks upon you as sinless and beloved and well pleasing as he looked upon Adam and Eve before they fell. This is not because of something that you have done. It is not because you lived in such and such a way, did or didn’t do this or that. The reason why God looks upon you as holy and righteous is because of what Jesus did by dying and rising for you.I’m glad that we are able to receive this Sacrament tonight. But I know that there are some here tonight who cannot yet receive it. There are also some who will listen to this broadcast later in their homes. I’d like to speak a word to those who, for whatever reason, are not able to physically eat and drink Christ’s body and blood. Let me therefore ask you: Do you believe what Jesus says when he says that this sacrament is his body and blood for the forgiveness of your sins? Do you believe that the body and blood of Jesus was sacrificed for the forgiveness of your sins? If you believe this, then you are not despising the sacrament even though you are prevented from receiving it at this time. If you didn’t care about the Sacrament, then that would be one thing. Also, if you stubbornly refuse to repent of your sins and believe the plain words that Jesus speaks, then that would be one thing. But it’s another thing when other circumstances are preventing you from communing, but you still believe what Jesus says. Then you are receiving Jesus’s body and blood spiritually, even if you are not able to receive them physically with the congregation that is here right tonight. God is not a legalist who insists that every i be dotted and every t crossed. The Lord’s Supper is not a hoop to jump through or a stipulation God requires before he will be gracious. No, the Lord’s Supper is a gift, not a prerequisite. As a gift it works the same way that all good gifts work: the power behind the gift is the love that prompts the gift to be given in the first place. Suppose a loved one gives you a gift. If they really love you, then that gift is not a test. If, for some reason, you couldn’t receive the gift at that moment, it doesn’t change the love that is behind it. The giver of the gift understands. But if you despised the gift a loved one wanted to give you because you couldn’t go to the trouble to receive it, or you didn’t care, or you didn’t think it was important—that, of course, is a different thing. So it us also with the Sacrament.To sum up tonight: The words Jesus speaks in the Lord’s Supper are plain. We might not understand how it works , but there are a lot of things we don’t understand—even about earthly things. Jesus also is very plain about what the Sacrament gives. It gives forgiveness and reconciliation with God through Jesus who was sacrificed on the cross. By what Jesus plainly says to you, you are told that you have peace with God for his body and blood’s sake.

“Bomen kunnen wellicht opschieten als bomen, ook al blijken ze onvruchtbaar of dragen ze wilde vruchten; paarden worden als paard geboren, ook al kun je er niets mee aanvangen. Mensen echter, neem dat van mij aan, worden niet geboren, maar gevormd.” Hiermee drukt Desiderius Erasmus het belang van opvoeding en geestelijke inspanning uit. Hoe verbindt Erasmus de klassieke filosofie en de christelijke traditie? Op welke manier was hij van zijn invloed op het denken over kerk, politiek en samenleving in zijn tijd? En wat maakt hem tot een van meest prominente Nederlanders aller tijden? Te gast is Han van Ruler De denker die centraal staat is Erasmus

In the THIRTY-FOURTH the guys discuss the debate between famous humanist, Desiderius Erasmus, and Martin Luther, who reluctantly battled over the doctrine of the will as it relates to salvation. In 1524 Erasmus wrote his diatribe On the Freedom of the Will. Luther responded about a year later with On the Bondage of the Will. Wade and Mike continue their series on the life of Luther by providing some historical background on this debate and summarizing both sides.

Oh h*ck yeah! Your hosts done done it again, y'all: we goofed around and talked a whole lot about the Gospel of John. You'd think after going through this stuff four times, we'd be a little more efficient, but no. It turns out that there have been centuries of debate focused entirely on John 1:1, and it goes like you'd expect from there. Join us on the first part of our journey through the final canonical gospel (and by far the weirdest) as we meet a new and unknowable Jesus who is known by His first sign: turning Purple Stuff into Sunny D. Plus, we meet like eight Johns who might actually be one John, because who even knows anymore. You, uh, might want to familiarize yourself with Grant Morrison before you listen to this one, because we go deep. Topics of discussion: John 3:16, Austin 3:16, the Invisibles, the Matrix, Dark City, They Live, and other pop cultural touchstones, Gothy Magic Stuff, God's Fiction Suit, Benito's extremely bad joke, John the Baptist, John the Apostle, John the Presbyter, John the Revelator, Prester John, the Beloved Disciple, Homer and Chris's incredible disillusionment with the ancient world, John's virulent anti-semitism, dunking on Moses, 009, HaShem, the Word (aka the Discourse aka the Tiger Force), Desiderius Erasmus, the Heresy of Sabellianism, the Arian Heresy, Adoptionism, the Great Baptism Fight, Nathaniel the Secret Apostle, Simon Peter "The Rock" Johnson, Jesus being really mean to Mary for no discernible reason like what the h*ck, Jesus's good good wine, Jesus's whip and how the Castlevania franchise dropped the ball hard, Nicodemus and the most ridiculous question in the entire Bible, Samaritans explained at last, Jesus's Secret Food, the angel jacuzzi, boataportation, Undercover Jesus. Happy Hanukkah, everybody! If you liked the show, why not head over to ko-fi.com/apocrypals to give us a love offering?

Though Desiderius Erasmus isn't exactly a household name, his life's work would greatly impact that of Martin Luther. Erasmus's life saw him grow from an insignificant Dutch orphan to one of the most celebrated theological minds of his day.

In this Wingin' It session Wade discusses Luther's  On the Bondage of the Will, which is the second of the two key writings of Luther that Wade dealt with in the his book An Uncompromising Gospel: Lutheranism’s First Identity Crisis and Lessons for Today. Wade hits upon the main arguments of Luther's opponent, Desiderius Erasmus, and Luther's responses to them, as well as the chief theological thrusts of the Bondage of the Will, revealing the nature of both the law and the gospel and the heart and core of Luther's biblical teaching.

Who was Desiderius Erasmus? Why did Desiderius Erasmus have to do with the Textus Receptus and the King James Version?

"It's crazy... so many habit apps allow you to track bad habits. Please, please, do not ever track BAD HABITS you're just putting attention and focus on what you do NOT want!" "To eliminate a bad habit replace it with a good one." Martin begins this episode by sharing how the environment is the first line of defense (or maybe even offense) when trying to kill a BAD Habit. Modifying your environment helps you to remove the common triggers and allows you to create impediments to executing the behavior you are trying to avoid. Next, Martin shares a famous quote by a Dutch Renaissance Theologian, Desiderius Erasmus who said, "A nail is driven out by a nail, habit is replaced by a habit." Replacement is the key to elimination, NOT just removing the bad behavior... "that creates a vacuum!" Finally, the listener is encouraged to revisit a prior episode "3 Bad Habit Busting Tips" and in that episode— as here, Martin revisits the "3 Ments" when it comes to killing a bad habit; environment, replacement and finally experiment.

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the life and work of the Dutch humanist scholar Desiderius Erasmus. In his lifetime Erasmus was almost universally recognised as the greatest classical scholar of his age, the translator and editor of numerous Latin and Greek texts. But above all he was a religious scholar who published important editions of the Bible which expunged many corruptions to the texts of the Scriptures. He was an outspoken critic of the Church, whose biting satire on its excesses, In Praise of Folly, was famed throughout Europe.When the Reformation began in 1517, however, Erasmus chose to remain a member of the Catholic Church rather than side with Martin Luther and the reformers, and a few years later he engaged in a celebrated debate with Luther on the subject of free will. Through his writings on the Church, on education and the wide gamut of humanist scholarship, Erasmus is remembered today as one of the greatest thinkers of the northern Renaissance.With:Diarmaid MacCullochProfessor of the History of the Church at the University of OxfordEamon DuffyProfessor of the History of Christianity at the University of CambridgeJill KrayeProfessor of the History of Renaissance Philosophy and Librarian at the Warburg Institute, University of London.Producer: Thomas Morris.

The History of the NT Greek Canon. Papyrus was mostly used for more ancient books. It survived in warm, dry climates such as the Middle East, but became frail after repeated use. Parchment or vellum, which became more used in the 4th century, was made from the skins of cattle, sheep, goats, antelopes, and was much more durable than papyrus, but more expensive. At the close of the first century A.D. the codex or leaf form of book, came into use in the Church. This is the form of book that we have today. Majuscules or Uncials were all capitol letters without spaces or punctuation. This was beautifully done in very old manuscripts and eliminated errors due to handwriting styles. Minuscule was a script type of writing using lower case letters. Since the minuscule handwriting made books cheaper, they were more available to people with limited means. Greek manuscripts fall into these two major groups (majuscule or minuscule), having subgroups of being written on either papyri or parchment. Either material was used interchangeably depending on cost. In English for example it would read: GODISNOWHERE. In the 4th century, when Rome received Christianity, scriptoria were established to produce copies of the NT. Therefore, just because a manuscript is older, that does not mean that it's necessarily more accurate. God chose to preserve the NT by the very number of man's mistakes. In other words, the mistakes preserve the original text. There are over 5700 manuscripts catalogued of parts of the NT alone. Each having small differences, then the number of variants becomes high, however, by comparison of them all, the variants become quite clear and a wonderful rendering of the original text is possible. Wescott and Hort indicated that about one eighth of the variants had any weight, the rest being trivial. Philip Schaff estimated that there were only 400 variants that affected the sense of the passage, and only 50 of these were important. Dr. A.T. Robertson, the greatest of Greek scholars, indicated that of real concern regarding textual variants amounted to but “a thousandth part of the entire text.” Four categories: Papyri………….116 Majuscules …….310 Minuscules……..2877 Lectionary………2432 5735 Codex Sinaiticus At the age of nineteen, young Count Koinstantin von Tischendorf amazed his professors with his fluent knowledge of the classical languages and his knowledge of history. This is how Tischendorf dis­covered the 129 pages of what is today known as the Codex sinaiticus, or the Codex Aleph. Codex Sinaiticus is still one of the finest and most accurate texts available to us today, and it became the basis of many revisions and corrections of earlier editions of the Bible. Actually, Codex Vaticanus, also known as Codex B was known to be some fifteen years older than Codex Sinaiticus (Codex Aleph). Vaticanus dated back to 325 or 350 A.D., and had probably been brought from the East by Pope Nicholas in 1448. In 1809, when Napoleon exiled the Pope, it took about fifty wagons to transport the Pope's library. Tregelles, another great scholar and friend of Tischendorf's, decided to investigate the Codex Vaticanus in the Vatican library. A third very interesting manuscript, which very few people knew about, is the Codex Alexandrinus. This Greek language manuscript had been written about 450 A.D. in Alexandria, Egypt. In 1621, when Cyril Lucar became the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church, he transferred the manuscript to Constantinople. The beautiful document, Codex Alexandrinus, was presented at court in 1627, just fifteen years after the King James Version of the Bible had been completed. The first thing that was printed was Jerome's Latin Vulgate as it was the most popular Bible translation at the time, although by then Bibles had been printed in several languages of Europe. No Greek NT had been “printed” until 1514 and was called the Complutensian Polygot. It was a magnificent edition of Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Latin texts. 600 were printed, of which 97 are preserved today. However, the first Greek NT to be published (put on the market) was an edition prepared by the famous Dutch scholar Desiderius Erasmus in 1516. Erasmus could not find a Greek manuscript that contained the entire NT. He used about a half dozen different, incomplete copies of the Greek NT. For most of the text he relied on two rather inferior manuscripts from a monastic library at Basle, one of the Gospels and one of Acts and the Epistles, both dating from the 12th century. Said of this first edition, owing to the haste in production, the volume contains hundreds of typographical errors. Said of this first edition: “It is in that respect the most faulty book I know.” (Scrivener) Erasmus made a second edition which became the basis for Luther's German translation. Corrections were made but the text was still only based on a half-dozen Greek manuscripts. Further editions were made for a total of five editions in all by 1535. The text of Erasmus' Greek NT rests upon a half-dozen miniscule Greek manuscripts. The oldest and best of these (codex 1, a miniscule of the 10th century) he used the least because he was afraid of its supposedly erratic text. It is Erasmus' text (Textus Receptus: Received Text) that is the basis of the 1611 King James Version. This is not to say that the KJV is a terrible translation, but it is flawed as any other translation and it is not as good as RSV, NIV, or NASB etc. ROM 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. KJV ROM 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. KJV After Erasmus thousands of manuscripts of the Greek NT have been discovered as well as other ancient Greek texts that have aided in our understanding of the Koine Greek. In fact the 26th edition of the Nestle-Aland Greek NT was published separately from the United Bible Societies' Greek NT. Without communicating and by using different critical methods the two editions are identical. 5735 Greek manuscripts discovered and criticized over hundreds of years have reproduced God's original Word to the writers of Scripture within 99.999% accuracy. Grace Bible Church Basic Training in Doctrine April 8, 2008 Canonicity Definition, Origin, and the OT. Definiton: Canonicity is derived from the Greek word “kanon” which originally meant a rod or a ruler – hence a measuring stick or a norm. The canon of Scripture is the divine absolute standard of God's revelation to mankind. Argument: We don't have any of the originals and the originals have been copied over and over so there are bound to be mistakes. Answer: True Argument: The Bible was written by men and not God. Answer: True. But over 40 different writers who wrote over a period of 1,500 years are in exact agreement about types, antitypes, prophecies, fulfillment of prophecies, timelines, stories, and history, and all without a single glitch. God the Holy Spirit so directed the writers of Scripture that without changing their personality, their vocabulary, their frame of reference, God's complete message to mankind was recorded in their own language and vernacular. This is the doctrine of inspiration. The Bible is not human viewpoint, but it is the Holy Spirit's use of human agencies to record God's complete revelation to mankind through mankind. The Origin of the Scriptures: The Bible was inspired by God and it is now complete. REV 22:18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book : if anyone adds to them, God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book; 1 Cor 2:10 For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God 1 Cor 2:16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ. When we turn to the decree of Artaxerxes, made in his twentieth year, NEH 2:1-8, for the first time is permission granted to rebuild the city of Jerusalem. This prophecy fulfills the conditions of DAN 9:25 Therefore, 69 weeks of prophetic years of 360 days (69 x 7 x 360 = 173,880 days) = 173,880 days. After this many days, from March 14th B.C. 445, one would arrive at the 6th of April, A.D. 32. Luke 19:42 “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace-but now it is hidden from your eyes. (NIV) The Old Testament For instance the original Greek of John 1:1 is as follows: Now look at an OT verse in the Hebrew: à áÌÀøÅàùÑÄéú, áÌÈøÈà àÁìÉäÄéí, àÅú äÇùÌÑÈîÇéÄí, åÀàÅú äÈàÈøÆõ. In 280 B.C. 72 Alexandrian scholars got together and produced an amazingly accurate translation. This was called the Septuagint or “the Seventy” in honor of the translators. : The Bible was originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, although only a handful of chapters were written in Aramaic Unlike the NT, the OT scriptures were kept among one people, the Jews, for centuries. Outside of the Septuagint it remained in Hebrew, was kept among people who spoke the same language, and the Jews were well trained copyists and preservers of the OT Originally the OT was divided into 3 parts: The Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings The Torah or the Pentateuch consists of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy The second group, the Nabhim or Prophets which are split into two categories; the Former Prophets (before the Babylonian captivity) and the Latter prophets (after the Babylonian captivity). There are four books in each category. The three Major Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel The Minor Prophets, which we divide into 12 separate books, are all one in the Hebrew Bible, called the Twelve. Apart from Daniel “The Twelve” includes everything from Hosea to Malachi The third section of the Hebrew OT is called the Kethubim or “The Writings.” This was divided into 3 sections, The Poetical Books, The Five Rolls (also called the Megilloth), and The Historical Books. Lastly there are the three Historical Books at the end of the Hebrew Canon: Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah (one book), and Chronicles. Therefore, the Hebrew OT contains 24 books compared to our 39 This endorsement of Scripture takes us from GEN 4:10 (the first book) to 2CH 24:20-21 (the last book in the OT Canon) The Apocrypha are books written after the close of the OT Canon in 425 B.C. The word Apocrypha means hidden or secret. Their addition was an attempt by the devil to infiltrate God's Truth. The Apocrypha teaches: Prayers and offerings for the dead (2 Macc 12:41-46). Suicide is justified (2 Macc 14:41-46). Salvation by giving money (Tobit 4:11). Cruelty to slaves (Ecclesiasticus 33:25-29). The soul is produced by parents (Wisdom 8:19-20).

This episode of CS is titled Erasmus.As we begin, I once again want to do a brief, and I promise it will be brief, summary of the threads that conspired to weave the tapestry of the Reformation. Others might refer to them less as threads that weaved a tapestry as those that frayed in the unravelling of the Church caused by a pack of trouble-makers. The reason I'm compelled to do all this summarizing is because of the massive sea-change coming in our study and the need to understand it wasn't just some malcontents who woke up one day and decided to bail on a healthy church. Things had been bad for a long time and the call for reform had been heard for a couple hundred years.The Western European Church of the 14th and 15th C's experienced a major crisis of authority. This crisis came from challenges both within and without. They combined to plant seeds of doubt in the minds of many about the credibility and legitimacy of Church leaders. Let's review some of the things they'd done, and that happened to the Church, to create the crisis.Due to the politics of late medieval Europe, Pope Clement V moved the papal seat to Avignon, France, in 1309 in what's called the “Babylonian Captivity of the Church” because the Pope came under the influence of the French throne. When another Pope was elected in Rome, the Church was faced with 2 men who claimed the title of “Vicar of Christ.” This Papal Schism confused the people of Europe and stirred strong feelings that the office of Pope was more a political fixture than a spiritual office. At the insistence of the Holy Roman Emperor, the Council of Constance ended the schism. But the solution raised serious questions about the authority of the papacy, further dividing church leaders and distressing the people of Europe.In addition to these political shenanigans, the Church was marked by widespread corruption and fraud. Simony, the buying and selling of ecclesiastical offices, was common. Immorality among monks, priests, bishops and cardinals was at some times and places, not even hidden. The Church spent a fortune acquiring thousands of relics for its cathedrals and paying for them with the selling of indulgences, which we'll talk about soon.The Inquisition had terrorized whole regions of Europe, especially in Spain and while the Church justified its actions saying it was rooting our dangerous heresy, many knew some victims of the Inquisition were innocent. The Church simply wanted their property and wealth and had used the Inquisition as a means of enriching itself.With the birth of the Renaissance and a new open-mindedness about thinking outside the realm of official authority, the Church became an object of ridicule and satire in pamphlets and books that were readily available with the invention of the printing press.Let me be clear. Some of the harshest criticism of the Church came, not from outsiders, but from faithful priests and monks disgusted with the corruption and error they saw among their peers.As a reaction to the stultifying academic pursuits of Scholasticism, there was a popular movement all across Europe known as Mysticism, in which people simply wanted to “feel” their faith and sought make contact with the divine through meditation and a more personal link to God than going through the official priesthood.Most significant was the movement known as The Brethren of Common Life. Their most famous spokesman was Thomas à Kempis whose little book On the Imitation of Christ continues to be a widely read devotional classic. The Brethren stood in opposition to the monastic orders which for the most part had become centers of corruption. The Brethren breathed new spiritual life into the church. They stressed personal devotion to Jesus through meditative study, confession of sin, and imitating Christ. They emphasized holiness and simplicity in lifestyle. In many ways, the Brethren prefigured the Reformers of the 16th C.With the Bible being translated into the common tongue, no longer did people have to rely on a priest telling them what it said.The 16th C world was one of astonishing change. Medieval civilization, dominated by an institutional Church was disappearing. Modern nation-states challenged the Church for political and economic supremacy, and the voyages of discovery made the world seem smaller at the same time new worlds were opening. The Renaissance of Northern Italy saw many turn from a hide-bound and superstitious Catholicism to the romanticized glories of ancient Greece and Rome.Into this changing world stepped one à Desiderius Erasmus.Taking the pulse of the times, Erasmus ridiculed the Catholic church with biting satire. His works were wildly popular. In his most famous, Praise of Folly written in 1509, Erasmus took jabs at the church's immorality, corruption, and decadence. He ridiculed such superstitions as fanatical devotion to relics, stories of bleeding Communion bread, and the cult of the saints. In another work, he depicted Saint Peter railing against Pope Julius II for his luxurious and opulent lifestyle and military conquests.But it was in 1516 that Erasmus published his most important and influential work—a Greek edition of the NT. He examined and compared the available NT manuscripts and citations from the Church Fathers. The result was an accurate NT Greek text that became the NT of the Reformation.One epigram regarding the Reformation states, “Erasmus laid the egg that Luther hatched.”The illegitimate son of a Dutch priest, Erasmus lived in search of knowledge, in pursuit of piety, in love with books, and oppressed by the fear of poverty. Along the way, his writings and scholarship started a theological earthquake that didn't stop until European Christendom was torn in two.Born in Rotterdam and orphaned by the plague, Erasmus was sent from the school of St. Lebuin's—which taught classical learning and the humanities—to a school run by the Brethren of the Common Life. There he learned an emphasis on a personal relationship with God but detested the strict rules of monastic life and intolerant theologians. They intended to teach humility, he later recalled, by breaking the students' spirits.Being poor with no prospects, Erasmus joined the Augustinians. He wanted to travel, gain some academic elbow room, and leave behind the, as he called them, “barbarians” who discouraged him from classical studies. As soon as he was ordained a priest in 1492, he became secretary to the bishop of Cambrai, who sent him to Paris to study theology.He hated it there too. The dorms stank of urine, the food was atrocious, studies mechanical, and the discipline brutal. He began a career in writing and traveling that took him to most of the countries of Europe. Though his health was often poor, Erasmus was driven by a desire to seek out the best theologians of his day. On a trip to England in 1499, he complained of bad beer, the uncouth nature of the English, and terrible weather, but >> he met Thomas More, who became a friend for life.On that same trip he heard John Colet teach from the Scriptures, not just quote from the commentaries he'd studied in Paris. Colet, who later became dean of St. Paul's, encouraged Erasmus to become a “primitive theologian”- that is, someone who studied Scripture like the church Fathers, not like the argumentative scholastics who'd dominated theology for the last hundred years.So, Erasmus devoted himself to learning the Koine or Common Greek in which the NT was written. The result was his most significant work: an edition of the NT in original Greek, published in 1516. Accompanying it were study notes as well as his own Latin translation, correcting over 600 errors in Jerome's Vulgate.Two of the most noteworthy praises of Erasmus's work came from Pope Leo X and from a German monk named Martin Luther—who, a year later, launched the Reformation.Before that turning point however, which would eventually consume Erasmus, he became famous for his other writings. There were plenty of them to be famous for. By the 1530s, some 15% of all the books sold were written by Erasmus.Historians refer to Erasmus as a humanist, but that label has a very different meaning than it does in today. A humanist in the 15th C referred to someone who studied the humanities, that is, the social sciences of language, history, art and other subjects concerned with culture and society. But Erasmus was too brilliant a mind to simply study the humanities; he felt an obligation to better society.  So he wrote to confront and correct the errors he felt had crept into the Church, an institution he knew had by the far the biggest influence in shaping culture. He found he had great skill in the use of satire to make his point and people enjoyed reading his books and tracts.Those books brought him fame, as did his Greek NT. This and his attacks on the church caught Martin Luther's attention, who wrote asking for support.The two never met, but their fates were entwined. Erasmus's enemies accused him of inspiring Luther who was accused of breaking up God's Church. Erasmus found much he liked in Luther's writings, describing him to Pope Leo X as “a mighty trumpet of Gospel truth.” At the same time, he privately told his printer to stop printing Luther's writings because he didn't want his own efforts to be identified with Luther's.For 4 years, Erasmus pleaded for moderation on both sides of the divide Luther's work caused. When pressed, he sided with the Pope. Still, he hated the bickering and intolerance on both sides; saying, “I detest dissension because it goes both against the teachings of Christ and against a secret inclination of nature. I doubt that either side in the dispute can be suppressed without grave loss. It is clear that many of the reforms for which Luther calls are urgently needed.”His mediating position satisfied neither side. He said, “My only wish is that now that I am old, I be allowed to enjoy the results of my efforts. But both sides reproach me and seek to coerce me. Some claim that since I do not attack Luther I agree with him, while the Lutherans declare that I am a coward who has forsaken the Gospel.”Indeed, Luther attacked him as a Moses who would die in the wilderness without entering the Promised Land. And the Roman Church banned his writings.
