Beginning with a redefinition of the term radicalism, Peter G. Bietenholz examines the ways in which the radical aspects of Erasmus' writings inspired radical reactions among sixteenth- and seventeenth-century readers. Bietenholz examines the challenges to orthodoxy in Erasmus' scholarly work on the New Testament and the ways in which they influenced generations of thinkers, including John Milton and Sir Isaac Newton. Turning to other aspects of Erasmus' writings, the author shows the ways in which his opposition to war encouraged radical manifestations of pacifism; how his reflections on freedom of thought and religious toleration elicited both warm approval and fierce rejection; and the ways his critical attitude helped foster the early modern culture of Scepticism. An engaging look at Erasmus' theological, philosophical and socio-political influence, Encounters with a Radical Erasmus will prove useful to scholars of humanism, theology, the Reformation and Renaissance. 410 0$aErasmus studies. 606 $aRadicalism$zEurope$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aRadicalism$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aAuthors and readers$zEurope$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aAuthors and readers$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRadicalism$xHistory 615 0$aRadicalism$xHistory 615 0$aAuthors and readers$xHistory 615 0$aAuthors and readers$xHistory 676 $a303.48/4094 700 $aBietenholz$b Peter G.$0210867 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456787903321 996 $aEncounters with a radical Erasmus$92165046 997 $aUNINA
