Erasmus and Luther: Their Attitude to Toleration is a book written by Robert Henry Murray and published in 1920. The book examines the views of two prominent figures of the Reformation era, Desiderius Erasmus and Martin Luther, on the topic of religious toleration. Murray analyzes their writings and correspondence to explore their attitudes towards tolerance, religious freedom, and the role of the state in religious affairs. The book also delves into the historical context of the Reformation and the political and social factors that influenced the views of Erasmus and Luther. Murray argues that while both men were advocates of religious reform, their views on toleration differed significantly. Erasmus, a humanist scholar, believed in the importance of individual conscience and the need for tolerance towards different religious beliefs. On the other hand, Luther, a theologian and reformer, saw religious unity as essential and believed in the use of force to suppress dissenting views. The book provides a nuanced and insightful analysis of the complex issues surrounding religious toleration during the Reformation era and sheds light on the contrasting views of two influential figures in European history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
