It acknowledges that it was a feat for him to challenge the obscurantism of late medieval schooling by restoring classical studies. It recognizes that his editions of Greek and Latin authors alone fix his place in the history of scholarship. But the plainest questions about this achievement may still be asked, and the most popular texts freshly interpreted. Was his work only the expression in the ‘idiom of the Renaissance’ or a perennial Christian humanism? Or did he advance on it theoretically as well as practically? Did Erasmus contribute conceptually to the interrogation of pagan wisdom with the Christian economy? Christening Pagan Mysteries proposes that he did.Although doctrinal issues involved, this inquiry is not systematically theological. Erasmus wrote no treatise on the subject that might be so explored. A rhetorical approach, complementary to his own method, discloses his evangelical humanism through the analysis of three significant texts. The seminal dialogue Antibarbari provides the conceptual key in one of the most important humanist declarations in the history of Christian thought to the Renaissance. The Christocentric conviction it voices is then discerned through new interpretations of two other texts which christen pagan mysteries in original and important ways: the Moria and the final colloquy, ‘Epicureus,’ in which a pagan goddess and a pagan philosopher are gathered to Christ.Erasmus studies ;5.LITERARY CRITICISM / RenaissancebisacshElectronic books.LITERARY CRITICISM / Renaissance.199/.492Boyle Marjorie O'Rourke1943-919295MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460559003321Christening pagan mysteries2061799UNINA02320nas 2200625-a 450 991034512400332120240111213018.01336-0361(DE-599)ZDB2269445-6(CKB)1000000000717819(CONSER)--2006236111(EXLCZ)99100000000071781920061023a20069999 --- -engtxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierInternational issues & Slovak foreign policy affairsBratislava Research Center of the Slovak Foreign Policy Association2006-1 online resourceRefereed/Peer-reviewedTitle from cover.Print version: International issues & Slovak foreign policy affairs. 1337-5482 (DLC) 2006236111 (OCoLC)259630914 International issues and Slovak foreign policy affairsInternational relationsPeriodicalsPublications périodiqueseclasRelations extérieureseclasRelations internationaleseclasinternational relationseurovocendiplomatic relationseurovocenforeign policyeurovocenSlovakiaeurovocenDiplomatic relationsfast(OCoLC)fst01907412International relationsfast(OCoLC)fst00977053SlovakiaForeign relationsPeriodicalsSlovaquieeclasSlovakiafasthttps://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJkXtrVWwTxQXgBkqKGvHCPeriodicals.fastPeriodicals.lcgftInternational relationsPublications périodiques.Relations extérieures.Relations internationales.international relations.diplomatic relations.foreign policy.Slovakia.Diplomatic relations.International relations.Výskumné centrum Slovenskej spoločnosti pre zahraničnú politiku.JOURNAL9910345124003321exl_impl conversionInternational issues & Slovak foreign policy affairs2262606UNINA
