— Erasmus, Method of True Theology (1518) [8]: 570 Erasmus of Rotterdam also employed accommodation as an ethical challenge, teaching that St Paul was a chameleon and Christ was a Proteus in their personal interactions; [ 9 ] so Christians should also be "all things to all men" by accommodating each other, just as Christ had accommodated us.
