Features: Erasmus was a humanist, and his life's purpose was to return to the source of truth. In his time, this primarily meant restoring the original form and meaning of the Bible, which had been misunderstood for several centuries, and passing on wisdom to the world through his spirit of exploring truth. Therefore, every action he took was preparing the ground for Luther's religious reform in education. However, things often do not develop as expected. When new things arrive with a thunderous roar and overwhelming force, the steady, often silent yet persistent work that paves the way for the future is often overlooked by people.
