Browse through various writings by Erasmus including one of his early works Enchiridion militis Christiani (Handbook of the Christian Scholar). In this piece of work Erasmus outlines the views of the normal Christian life including the chief evil formalism-going through the motions without understanding their basis in the teachings of Christ. Through his examination of the dangers of formalism, Erasmus discusses monasticism, saint worship, war, the spirit of class and the foibles of "society."
