Synopsis

Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536) was a Reformation-era scholar whose writings in the Latin language are voluminous. In his The Complaint of Peace, Erasmus personifies peace who comes to earth to deliever her sobering verdict on the human race. In so doing, she chastises both secular and ecclesiastical rulers for betraying the heart of the gospel message and promoting unjust wars instead of peace.
