Document Summary
Wrote gargantua and pantagruel: novel of a christian society in which christians enjoy all the pleasures in life instead of avoiding them. Brought up that the opposite of good is bad, not pleasure. Things such as good tasting food, and alcohol, even sex was to be enjoyed, that is why god them as pleasurable as they are. No christian should be going hungry, and christians should give to charities. Importance characterized by the unique element to his literature being flawed humans. Lead to humans once again taking responsibilities for their actions(not unlike that of when arete was the most widely held belief on how to live your life), as opposed to leaving them all on the pope. Renaissance leads to more than one choice of christianity. Law scholar, read bible meticulously over 100 times. Bible clearly states by the grace of god is the only way into heaven; and to do that, you have to have faith.
