In the European Enlightenments it was often argued that moral
conduct rather than adherence to certain theological doctrines was
the true measure of religious belief. Thomas Ahnert argues that
this characteristically "enlightened" emphasis on conduct in
religion was less reliant on arguments from reason alone than is
commonly believed. In fact, the champions of the Scottish
Enlightenment were deeply skeptical of the power of unassisted
natural reason in achieving "enlightened" virtue and piety. They
advocated a practical program of "moral culture," in which revealed
religion was of central importance. Ahnert traces this to
theological controversies going back as far as the Reformation
concerning the key question of early modern theology, the
conditions of salvation. His findings present a new point of
departure for all scholars interested in the intersection of
religion and Enlightenment.
