Luther/Erasmus Exposé, “The Debaters,” Transcends Dry and Historical Texts
BALTIMORE – (PRWEB) May 14, 2015 -- With roughly 1.2 billion members worldwide, Catholicism is the second largest religion in the world. In fact, if Catholicism were a country, it would easily be the largest in the world.
While there are many practicing Catholics, most are not as educated on their history as they could or perhaps should be. This understanding occurred to Barth Hoogstraten nearly a decade ago when his brother leant him a book on Desiderius Erasmus and Pope Adrianus VI
“Aside from their names and basic backgrounds, it dawned on me that I knew next to nothing about either Erasmus or Martin Luther; two of history’s greatest minds whose actions led to the reformation and positive change in the Catholic Church,” Hoogstraten said.
After years of research, Hoogstraten published “The Debaters.” The book offers a glimpse of the final days of medieval Europe at one of the most crucial turning points in history. Readers experience first hand the personality conflicts between Luther, a sheltered family man and Erasmus, a bastard child, world traveler and one of the greatest humanists the world has ever seen.
