" Colet and Erasmus declared that the Bible could be readily understood by all and should not be reserved for a handful of theologians. " I totally dissent, " wrote Erasmus, " from those who are unwilling that the Sacred Scriptures, translated into the vulgar tongue, should be read by private individuals, as if Christ had taugh...t such subtle doctrines that they can with difficulty be understood by a very few theologians, or as if the strength of the Christian religion lay in men's ignorance of it. " The teachings of Colet and Erasmus found yet more powerful utterance in William Tyndale.
