Erasmus is committed to the defence of traditional Christian doctrine. What is ERASMUS HOUSE PUBLISHING? ERASMUS arose out of direct concern for the needs of the church in the modern age. We feel, in effect, that a line has been crossed
It is felt that the ethos of financial corruption, sexual deviation, spiritual passivity and worldliness that currently marks so much of the Western church needs to be challenged. We feel in the spirit of Isaiah some 2700 years ago:
“To the Law and to the Testimony...”
– Isaiah 8:20
Like the Israel of Isaiah’s day, we the church today need to get back to basics. We need to get back to what essential Christianity says and teaches, and what it has always taught. The church needs, to be sure, to draw a line in the sand, and raise up the true standard once again. WHY 'ERASMUS’…? Desiderius Erasmus lived at the time of the Reformation, some five-hundred years ago. He lived at a stage in church history when, tragically, there were high levels of corruption, heresy and sin in the Church. They say that the pen is mightier than the sword, and Erasmus, through his writings, did his bit to combat the problems of his day. It is felt that the church today is on the cusp of another major episode, not unlike the time of the Reformation, and likewise has reached unacceptable levels of corruption, heresy and decadence. More and more people are becoming concerned about the extent to which the spirit of the world has infiltrated the church. At least one observer has stated that the church today is as bad as that of the Reformation period 500 years ago. In the spirit of Erasmus, then, we wish to do our part, God willing, to expose and combat the problems of our day. We intend so doing through our books and podcasts. We invite all true Christians, those who are concerned about the current situation, and adherents to true, traditional Christian doctrine, to join with us in support and defence of true Christianity and Evangelical principles.
