As Harry Austryn Wolfson deftly isolates and analyzes some of the
most vital and often the most enigmatic ideas developed by the
religious philosophers of the West, a cumulative and thoughtful
continuity emerges from his interpretations. Philo, for example,
appears as a dominant force throughout the sixteen centuries that
preceded Spinoza's critique of his basic principles. The ten essays
which constitute the critical sequence of this penetrating book are
derived from lectures, and from separate publications many of which
are not readily available now. They include discussions of
Immortality and Resurrection in the Philosophy of the Church
Fathers; St. Augustine and the Pelagian Controversy; Causality and
Freedom in Descartes, Leibniz and Hume. Wolfson concludes with a
perceptive distillation of his personal wisdom in an essay
contrasting the professed atheist with the "verbal theist."
