Collected Works of Erasmus : Controversies, Volume 77 PDF
by Desiderius Erasmus
Edited by Charles Trinkaus
Part of the Collected Works of Erasmus series
Description
Erasmus' controversies with French, Italian, Spanish, and German critics on theological, social, philological, educational, and other matters are contained in volumes 71-84 of the Collected Works.
CWE 76 includes two of his most important disputes with Luther, A Discussion of Free Will and the first part of the Hyperaspistes (usually translated as 'protector' or 'shield-bearer').
Erasmus writes in response to Luther's The Enslaved Will and rebukes Luther for what he considers his high-handed arrogance and his insulting charge that Erasmus is an atheist.
In CWE 76, Hyperaspistes 1 deals with a number of general considerations in approaching the question of free will.
In CWE 77, Hyperaspistes 2 examines in detail the biblical passages put forth in defence of free will in A Discussion of Free Will and Luther's refutation of that defence in The Enslaved Will.
In these two volumes of bitter dispute with Luther, Erasmus shows once again that he is a humanist in his theology and a theologian in this humanism. Volume 77 of the Collected Works of Erasmus series.
