Desiderius Erasmus was a Dutch Christian humanist, Catholic theologian, educationalist, satirist, and philosopher. He was known for his natural Latin style and scholarly editions of the New Testament and Church Fathers. His works, such as “The Praise of Folly” and “Handbook of a Christian Knight,” were influential during the Protestant and Catholic Reformations. Erasmus advocated for peace, tolerance, and reform within the Catholic Church, promoting the doctrine of synergism despite opposition from prominent Reformers.
