Erasmi came from a pastor's family and was a son of Magister Johann Philip Erasmi († 1737), preacher at the church of St. John's Monastery . His grandfather of the same name, Christoph Anton Erasmi (1649–1703), had been archdeacon of the Petrikirche from 1676 , his uncle Christoph Anton Erasmi (* 1684), who had studied in Rostock since 1705, became archdeacon in 1714 and in 1737 chief pastor of the Petrikirche. As such, he died on October 20, 1755.

He was first taught by his father at home and then attended the Katharineum in Lübeck . When he finished school he gave a Latin speech on March 30, 1730 about the merits of Erasmus of Rotterdam in the humanities . He studied Protestant theology at the University of Jena and became a member of the German Society . After his return to Lübeck, he was appointed preacher at St. Mary's Church on December 6, 1743 as the successor to Bernhard Heinrich von der Hude (1681–1750), who rose to senior pastor after the death of Jacob von Melle , which he remained until his untimely death . To introduce it, Ernst Leberecht Semper wrote a congratulatory poem on behalf of the German Society.

The rector of the Katharineum, Johann Henrich von Seelen, wrote him a Latin mourning poem.
