Holy Scripture Speaks reveals the rich complexity of the literary, theological, and cultural dimensions of Erasmus’ Paraphrases on the New Testament and indicates future directions that research in this area should take.
The so-called Counter- or Catholic Reformation has traditionally been viewed as a monolith, but these essays decisively challenge this interpretation, emphasizing the variety, vitality, and complexity of Catholicism in the early modern era.
A close reading of Erasmus' (d. 1536) work on prayer and spirituality that analyses how he understood prayer and demonstrates how his publications on prayer form part of the larger pastoral program that was implemented by the printing press.
