Exercitations Divine: Containing Diverse Questions and Solutions for the Right Understanding of the Scriptures; Proving the Necessitie, Integritie, Perspicuitie, and Sense Thereof (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into the nature of knowledge and the relationship between reason and faith, as understood through the lens of Christian scripture. The author, writing during a time when theological ideas were being debated and refined, seeks to define the boundaries of human reason and its role in understanding divine matters. He argues that while reason can play a role in organizing and understanding scripture, it cannot ultimately be the sole judge of its truth. Instead, the author emphasizes the importance of divine revelation, arguing that the ultimate source of knowledge about God comes from scripture itself. The book explores the concept of the “law written in the heart,†examining how humans are endowed with innate moral knowledge, yet also struggle with the effects of sin. The author uses examples from scripture and the lives of key figures, such as Adam, Moses, and Solomon, to illustrate his points. He cautions against relying solely on human reasoning, highlighting the danger of using philosophical arguments to prove or disprove scriptural truths. Through this rich and insightful exploration, the book presents a compelling vision of how reason and faith can coexist and work together in the pursuit of true knowledge.
