Synopsis
Excerpt from The Quarterly Review of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Vol. 7
Vol. Vii. January 1853. No.1 Art. I. Reason And Revelation. More than two hundred years ago, Lord Bacon marked, C(A treatise on the limits of reason in spiritual matters, as grand desideratum in the theological literature of the world. This deficiency still exists. Scraps of learning on this sublet may indeed be found in various systems of theology; but an exhaustive discussion of it, such as is at all commensurate with its transcendent importance, we can no where fad. This is to be the more lamented, because of the good effects which such a treatise would naturally tend to produce. It would be an opiate, says Bacon, to stay and bridle, not only the vanity of curious speculations, wherewith the Advancement of Learning. Vol. vii.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between reason and revelation, particularly regarding their influence on spiritual matters. The author argues that both are essential to religious understanding, and that the polarization between the two is a detriment to fostering religious truth. The author points to historical examples, such as Luther's condemnation of reason in favor of blind adherence to scripture, as an illustration of the dangers of such polarization. The book further argues that Christianity, stripped of corrupt additions, is a rational system that corresponds to human reason. Drawing on both reason and revelation, the author presents a fresh perspective on the nature of religious truth and the importance of respecting both reason and revelation in the pursuit of it.
