The Erasmian Legacy to 1689 -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexDesiderius Erasmus' humanist works were influential throughout Europe, in various areas of thought including theology, education, philology, and political theory. Exploiting Erasmus examines the legacy of Erasmus in England from the mid-sixteenth century to the overthrow of James II in 1688 and studies the various ways in which his works were received, manipulated, and used in religious controversies that threatened both church and state. In viewing movements and events such as the rise of anti-Calvinism, the religious politics leading to the English civil war, and the emergence of the Latitudinarians during the Restoration, Gregory D. Dodds provides a fascinating account not only of the reception and effects of Erasmus' works, but also of the early history of English Protestantism. Exploiting Erasmus offers a critical new angle for rethinking the theology and rhetoric of the time. It is a remarkable study of Erasmus' influence on issues of conformity, tolerance, war, and peace.Erasmus studies.Religious thoughtEngland16th centuryReligious thoughtEngland17th centuryEnglandIntellectual life16th centuryEnglandIntellectual life17th centuryEnglandChurch history16th centuryEnglandChurch history17th centuryElectronic books.Religious thoughtReligious thought199/.492Dodds Gregory D.906400MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456785303321Exploiting Erasmus2027002UNINA
