How were the christian humanists different form the humanists of the Italian renaissance?

Christian humanists differed from Italian Renaissance humanists primarily in their focus on integrating classical learning with Christian principles. While Italian humanists emphasized secular themes and the study of ancient texts to promote individualism and civic virtue, Christian humanists sought to reform society through a return to the moral teachings of The Bible. They aimed to apply humanist ideas to improve spirituality and ethics within Christianity, as exemplified by figures like Erasmus and Thomas More. This blend of Humanism with religious reform set them apart from their more secular Italian counterparts.
