Michael K. Walker said It is not easy to read however and requires considerable focus in places. This is an interesting book. It provides noble council based on ideal Christian values, as well as stories drawn from Greek philosophy. It is not easy to read however and requires considerable focus in places to discern what Erasmus is communicating. This largely due to changes in grammatical and other norms from when it was written to today. Spelling is different, as well as punctuation, and sentence construction; there are many allusions to classical works that may be. "Practical, usefull, and timeless" according to jwoodard. This book was written to help a real historical person with practical spiritual problems and it shows. This handbook is not highly theoretical or mystical in nature, but presents practical spiritual advice from perhaps the wisest person of his age. Even though it is several centuries old, it is timeless and still functions as an incredibly useful little handbook for the Christian life in the midst of the present world.. Timely Old classic written for turbulent times.

— A Classic — Includes Active Table of Contents — Includes Religious IllustrationsAlbeit, most virtuous father, that the little book, to the which I have given this name or title Enchiridion militis christiani, which many a day ago I made for myself only, and for a certain friend of mine being utterly unlearned, hath begun to mislike and displease me the less, forasmuch as I do see that it is allowed of you and other virtuous and learned men such as you be, of whom (as ye are indeed endued with godly learning, and also with learned godliness) I know nothing to be approved, but that which is both holy and also clerkly: yet it hath begun well nigh also to please and like me now, when I see it (after that it hath been so oftentimes printed) yet still to be desired and greatly called for, as if it were a new work made of late: if so be the printers do not lie to flatter me withal.Aeterna Press
