John Colet (1467-1519) was a British scholar.
Biography
Renaissance Humanist. His lectures at Oxford on the Letter of Paul broke with the exegetical methods of medieval scholasticism and inaugurated a new approach to Scripture, expounding the text in terms of its plain meaning as seen in its historical context. When Desiderius Erasmus came to Oxford in 1498, he was profoundly influenced by Colet's teaching and methods of biblical interpretation.
