Paraphrases on the Epistles to the Corinthians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians

摘要

At the back of the book the reader will find: (1) the dates of the original publication of the Paraphrases; (2) an extensive bibliography (82 items) of "works frequently cited" in the footnotes; (3) a list of "short-title forms" for the works Erasmus - in effect, a bibliography of the writings of Erasmus, listing well over 100 publications; (4) an index of Scriptural references (about eight or nine hundred references); (5) an index of classical references; (6) an index of patristic and medieval references; (7) an index of Greek and Latin words cited in the volume's notes; and (8) an extensive and detailed "General Index" (22 pages). The polarization of Christendom between Rome on the one hand and the Protestant churches on the other rendered the Erasmian ideal of reform impossible - although a plausible case can be made that the Erasmian ideal finally triumphed at the Catholic Church's Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). -
