Enchiridion militis Christiani – Erasmus of Rotterdam – 1641 | Christian Discipline

While best known for his In Praise of Folly and Colloquies, Desiderius Erasmus wrote other important works including his book Enchiridion Militis Christiani. More commonly known as Handbook of the Christian Knight, this book is a guidebook for Christians on how to live a Christian life, rather than just going through the practices and appearing to be living for Christ.
