Ecclesiastes Of Erasmus
Ecclesiastes: On the Art of Preaching (Latin: Ecclesiastes: sive de ratione concionandi) was one of the last major works that Desiderius Erasmus produced. Ecclesiastes focuses on the subject of effective preaching. Previously, Erasmus had written treatises on the Christian layperson, Christian prince, and Christian educator. Friends and admirers, including Bishop John Fisher suggested that Erasmus write on the office of the Christian priesthood. He began writing the text in 1523, finally completing and printing Ecclesiastes in 1535.
