Prompt: You have now read the works of two great intellectuals, Luther and Erasmus, whose

attitudes represent the underpinnings of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, which led to

the deaths of many Europeans. You have also read the law passed by one polity that actively

avoided state-level violence between Christians from different sects. Briefly explore how these

moral/doctrinal and legal documents could coexist in the same societies. How could secular law

quash religious violence? What would Martin Luther or Erasmus say about this?

It's a response paper to the Warsaw Confederation and "Erasmus and Luther, Discourse
