The book ""The Humanist Idea Of Christian Antiquity: Lefevre D'Etaples And His Circle"" by Eugene F. Rice Jr. is a comprehensive study of the humanist movement in Christian antiquity, with a focus on the French scholar Jacques Lefevre d'Etaples and his circle. The book explores the role of humanism in the development of Christian theology, philosophy, and literature during the Renaissance period. It examines how Lefevre and his associates sought to reconcile the teachings of the Church with the classical ideals of reason, skepticism, and human dignity. The author delves into the intellectual and cultural milieu of the time, exploring the controversies, debates, and innovations that characterized the humanist movement. Through a careful analysis of primary sources and historical context, the book sheds light on the complex and fascinating relationship between humanism and Christianity in the early modern period.From The Renaissance V9, 1962.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
