Erasmus: A Play on Words

by James David Barber

A dramatic play in both verse and prose which outlines the struggle and ensuing schism between the dogma of the Roman Catholic Church and Martin Luther's doctrines. This drama highlights Erasmus's pivotal role in the success or failure of a compromise which would prevent an open break with the Church, culminating in a formal disputation between Erasmus and Luther held before the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Pope Adrian VI.
