The Bible Exposed is a book written by the Dutch humanist and theologian, Desiderius Erasmus. The book is a critical examination of the Bible, particularly the New Testament, and was first published in 1522. In the book, Erasmus argues that the Bible should be read and interpreted critically, rather than simply accepting it as a literal and infallible text.Erasmus examines various aspects of the Bible, including its origins, translations, and interpretations. He also critiques the Church's use of the Bible to justify its authority and practices, such as the sale of indulgences. Erasmus argues that the Bible should be read in its original languages, rather than relying on translations, and that it should be studied in its historical and cultural context.The book caused controversy when it was first published, as it challenged the traditional authority of the Church and its interpretation of the Bible. However, it also helped to pave the way for the Protestant Reformation, which would soon follow. The Bible Exposed remains an important work in the history of biblical scholarship and religious reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
