The Man Who Laid the Egg: The Life of Desiderius Erasmus

The story of Erasmus, the unsung hero behind the translation work of Tyndale and Luther. Erasmus was a scholar of New Testament Greek. Like Vernons other books, this one is about a young apprentice — in this case, his name is Gerhard. He winds up in Basel, Switzerland, living in the same house with Erasmus the scholar. There he comes to understand the popular saying that Erasmus laid the egg that Luther hatched!
