Desiderius Erasmus (20)
  1. Erasmus and Luther struggle over the question of church authority. Erasmus makes an appeal to doctrinal authority based on ecclesial order.
  2. Is there a significant difference between changing your mind and doing penance? Absolutely.
  3. Erasmus accused Luther of being outside of the church and having a novel understanding of Scripture.
  4. In this episode, Kelsi talks with author, Amy Mantravadi, about her new historical novel Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, released by 1517 Publishing last month.
  5. Erasmus and the Unintended Reformation
  6. While Katie finishes up some family stuff, Gretchen invites on Amy Mantravadi to talk about writing about the reformation.
  7. In this episode, Dr. Paulson and Caleb go back yet again and discuss the events of the book of Exodus.
  8. If a key part of the Reformation was placing God’s Word back into the hands of the people in a clear, understandable way, then John of Ragusa can be called a “Prometheus” in his own right.
  9. Erasmus sought to find meaning behind the words of Scripture in order to make an ultimate claim. Luther, on the other hand, found the Gospel to be meaningless outside of Christ and his Cross.
  10. Luther understood when the Word of God came it did not offer sinners a choice.
  11. For Luther, Erasmus’ Christ-less, Spirit-less theological conclusions demonstrated that behind his supposed humanistic optimism lay a profound despair and pessimism.
