Erasmus' Egg: Humanism, Reformation, and the People's Book

Erasmus' New Testament (1516)

In the words of theologian Timothy George, 

[T]he Erasmian moment outlasted Erasmus. Both Luther and Tyndale had copies of his 1519 Greek New Testament at hand as they labored to 'verdeutschen' and 'english' God's Word for the farmers, ploughboys, pimps and prostitutes of German and England.
