The Bible is the crucible within which were forged many of the
issues most vital to philosophy during the early modern age.
Different conceptions of God, the world, and the human being have
been constructed (or deconstructed) in relation to the various
approaches and readings of the Holy Scriptures. This book explores
several of the ways in which philosophers interpreted and made use
of the Bible. It aims to provide a new perspective on the subject
beyond the traditional opposition "faith versus science" and to
reflect the philosophical ways in which the Sacred Scriptures were
approached. Early modern philosophers can thus be seen to have
transformed the traditional interpretation of the Bible and
emphasized its universal moral message. In doing so, they forged
new conceptions about nature, politics, and religion, claiming the
freedom of thought and scientific inquiry that were to become the
main features of modernity. Contributors include Simonetta Bassi,
Stefano Brogi, Claudio Buccolini, Simone D'Agostino, Antonella Del
Prete, Diego Donna, Matteo Favaretti Camposampiero, Guido Giglioni,
Franco Giudice, Sarah Hutton, Giovanni Licata, Edouard Mehl, Anna
Lisa Schino, Luisa Simonutti, Pina Totaro, and Francesco Toto.
Is there any way to avoid sin in my life? Does God cause everything
that happens to me? Could I lose my salvation? Will I find proof of
God's existence in the Bible? Why was Satan allowed to tempt Adam
and Eve? Do you have a mature, bible-based understanding of these
and other fundamental issues at the heart of the Christian faith?
Through a straightforward question and answer approach, Richard S.
Taylor explains basic Christian beliefs in What Every Christian
Ought to Know . This book will help you grow in your spiritual life
as you follow the command to 'be transformed by the renewing of
your mind' (Rom. 12: 2).
