Collected Works of Erasmus

CWE 41 is intended as an essential companion to the full range of Erasmus scholarship on the New Testament, as it is translated, annotated and presented in Volumes 42-60.

Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536), a Dutch humanist, Catholic priest, and scholar, was one of the most influential Renaissance figures. A professor of divinity and Greek, Erasmus wrote, taught, and travelled, meeting with Europe’s foremost scholars. A prolific author, Erasmus wrote on both ecclesiastic and general human interest subjects.
Sider Robert D. :

Robert D. Sider is General Editor of the New Testament Scholarship for the Collected Works of Erasmus.

"The texts contained in CWE 41 help us understand why Erasmus was loved or loathed by his contemporaries, and we are indebted to Sider and his associates for producing such a magnificent translation."

Henk Jan de Jonge, Leiden University:

"Sider has given us an excellent guide through the vast extent of Erasmus’ work on the New Testament. It is also a useful corrective of popular images of Erasmus which play down the Christian element in his thought and depict him one-sidedly as an almost secular messenger of tolerance, pacifism and areligious humanism."
