Description
Book SynopsisErasmus'' humanistic approach to theology and biblical exegesis presented a shocking challenge to the theologians at the University of Paris, which had been dominated by scholastic theology for centuries. He engaged in a decade-long controversy over his theological, exegetical, and ethical positions with the Theological Faculty, and especially with their director, Noël Béda.

Farge, this volume highlights the differences between the humanist and scholastic views of genuine theology more fully and extensively than most of Erasm
