Erasmus Lays an Egg | Church History #82

About this sermon

Join Pastor Lance Ralston for the 82nd episode of Church History, where we explore the conditions in the world during the lead-up to the Protestant Reformation. By 1500, Europe was boiling with political corruption, papal schisms, indulgences, the Inquisition, and rising calls for reform. The Renaissance, humanism, and the printing press fueled figures like Desiderius Erasmus, Thomas More, and John Colet, who challenged Catholic corruption, promoted scripture in Greek, and paved the way for Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. From the Council of Constance to Praise of Folly and the Greek New Testament of 1516, Erasmus shaped the age that would split Christendom in two.
