Erasmus
![''[[Portrait of Erasmus of Rotterdam]]'' (1523), [[Portrait of Erasmus of Rotterdam#London|"arguably…the most important portrait in England"]]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/30/Holbein-erasmus.jpg)
He was an important figure in classical scholarship who wrote in a spontaneous, copious and natural Latin style. As a Catholic priest developing humanist techniques for working on texts, he prepared pioneering new Latin and Greek scholarly editions of the New Testament and of the Church Fathers, with annotations and commentary immediately and vitally influential in both the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Reformation. He also wrote ''On Free Will,'' ''The Praise of Folly'', ''The Complaint of Peace'', ''Handbook of a Christian Knight'', ''On Civility in Children'', ''Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style'' and many other popular and pedagogical works.
Erasmus lived against the backdrop of the growing European religious Reformations. He developed a biblical humanistic theology in which he advocated the religious and civil necessity both of peaceable concord and of pastoral tolerance on ''matters of indifference''. He remained a member of the Catholic Church all his life, remaining committed to reforming the Church from within. He promoted the traditional doctrine of synergism, which some prominent Reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin rejected in favor of the doctrine of monergism. His influential middle-road approach disappointed, and even angered, partisans in both camps. Provided by Wikipedia
