Erasmus And Luther: Their Attitude To Toleration (1920)

Erasmus and Luther: Their Attitude to Toleration is a book written by Robert Henry Murray and published in 1920. The book explores the attitudes of two prominent figures of the Reformation, Desiderius Erasmus and Martin Luther, towards religious toleration. Murray examines the writings of both men in order to understand their views on the subject and to compare and contrast their approaches. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the topic, such as the historical context of the Reformation, the nature of religious faith, and the role of the state in religious matters. Murray argues that Erasmus and Luther had different attitudes towards toleration, with Erasmus advocating for a more inclusive and tolerant approach, while Luther was more authoritarian and intolerant. The book is an important contribution to the study of the Reformation and the history of religious toleration, and it remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of these subjects.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
