Desiderius Erasmus Short Biography

This video is rubbish. Erasmus's biggest achievement is to promote Free Will (freedom to debate and choose the between course of action even if it means that one has to disagree or confront the powerful) amongst the Christians in the 15th and 16th century. This video does not say anything about his achievement. Please read more about Erasmus and make a new video.

Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus (28 October 1466 – 12 July 1536), known as Erasmus or Erasmus of Rotterdam, was a Dutch philosopher and Christian humanist who is widely considered to have been one of the greatest scholars of the northern Renaissance.
.
Originally trained as a Catholic priest, Erasmus was an important figure in classical scholarship who wrote in a pure Latin style.
.
Among humanists, he enjoyed the sobriquet "Prince of the Humanists", and has been called "the crowning glory of the Christian humanists".
.
Using humanist techniques for working on texts, he prepared important new Latin and Greek editions of the New Testament, which raised questions that would be influential in the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-Reformation.
.
He also wrote On Free Will, In Praise of Folly, Handbook of a Christian Knight, On Civility in Children, Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style, Julius Exclusus, and many other works.
.
Erasmus lived against the backdrop of the growing European religious Reformation.
.
While he was critical of the abuses within the Catholic Church and called for reform, he nonetheless kept his distance from Luther, Henry VIII, and John Calvin, and continued to recognise the authority of the pope, emphasizing a middle way with a deep respect for traditional faith, piety and grace, and rejecting Luther's emphasis on faith alone.
.
Erasmus remained a member of the Catholic Church all his life, remaining committed to reforming the church and its clerics' abuses from within.
.
He also held to the doctrine of synergism, which some Reformers (Calvinists) rejected in favor of the doctrine of monergism.
.
His middle road ("via media") approach disappointed, and even angered, scholars in both camps.
.
Erasmus died suddenly in Basel in 1536 while preparing to return to Brabant and was buried in Basel Minster, the former cathedral of the city.
.
A bronze statue of Erasmus was erected in 1622 in his city of birth, replacing an earlier work in stone.

I believe free will was the root of scripture. Election was pulled out of scripture by those with a strong delusion. Very much a question that is being debated by many experts Satan has blinded. Why the cross if there is no chance. Did Jesus die in vain?
