Sider, Sister Mechtilde O'Mara, Edward A Phillips\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: University of Toronto Press, Canada\nImprint: University of Toronto Press\nISBN-13: 9780802092960, 978-0802092960\nSynopsis\nAs part of his effort to make the Bible an effective instrument of reform in society, church, and everyday life, Erasmus composed the Paraphrases. In these series of texts, the Holy Scripture provides the core of a work that is vastly expanded to embrace the reforming \""philosophy of Christ\"" in all of its forms. This volume contains two sets of Paraphrases, one on the Corinthian letters (circa. 1519), and the other on the group of letters from the Ephesians to the Thessalonians (circa. 1520).\n\n The first set presents an epistolary narrative which not only enlivens the events described but revisits them .
