Erasmus v Martin Luther [45min]

Emmanuel College in Cambridge is the setting for this edition of Great Debates. It was here that one of the leading Humanist thinkers Desiderius Erasmus was Professor of Greek in the 16th Century and it is his very public clash with Martin Luther over the nature of free will which the programme re-visits. To what extent are human beings truly free to determine their own choices? How accountable can we really be for our actions? Allan Little is joined by Dr Richard Rex, Dr David Bagchi, Fergus Stokes and the Reverend Mary Cousins to discuss these issues in front of an invited audience.
