Irena Backus offers the first examination of Leibniz as both
scholar and theologian in more than four hundred years,
illuminating the relationship between metaphysics and theology in
Leibniz's handling of key theological issues of his time:
predestination, sacred history, the Eucharist, and efforts for a
union between Lutherans and Catholics and between Lutherans and
Calvinists.
Drawing on a wide range of Leibniz's writings, Backus carefully
presents the philosophical points and counterpoints of Leibniz's
positions. She shows how Leibniz's essentially Lutheran nonorthodox
theology was reconciled with his philosophy and demonstrates that
Leibniz was not a typical Lutheran: the solutions he sought to the
problems of confessional division were more philosophical than
theological, and his view of sacred history was intended to
vindicate his theodicy. Leibniz's unique integration of theology
into philosophy proved satisfactory neither to theologians nor to
many philosophers of his time.
This study delves into a wealth of previously unexplored material,
and includes the first-ever English translation of the
Unvorgreiffliches Bedencken. It will be an important contribution
to the history of ideas, and to understanding Leibniz's place in
the mainstream Protestant theology of his time.
