What did erasmus do?

Answer 1

ERASMUS WAS A RENAISSANCE WRITER -- A Roman Catholic humanist philosopher; he advocated reform of the Church on the basis of study of sacred texts (regular reading of scripture by laity). He believed what the church needed was not institutional reform but "true religion": the inward, true love of God and love (service) of neighbors. -- He also considered becoming a monk, but it didn't work out, so he became a priest! Erasmus translated The Bible into Greek!

Answer 2

he helped out Martin LutherThis above answer is lame. In fact, Erasmus translated the Bible with the Greek and Latin text side by side, and Martin Luther used Erasmus' translation to help him translate the Bible into German. Erasmus' work helped Luther. Beside all that, there were several books that he wrote exposing the corruptness of the Roman Catholic church and the piety of the religious leaders of his day, including Monks.
