The Enlightenment values of individual autonomy, democracy, and
secularizing reason conflict with the religious traditions of
community, authority, and traditional learning. Yet in American
history the two heritages have been intertwined since the colonial
era: the development of the Enlightenment has been influenced by
community-based thinking and religious institutions have adopted to
an extent critical methods and a democratic ethos even within their
own walls. This volume unites the work of a distinguished group of
theologians, historians, literary critics, and philosophers to
explore the interaction between Enlightenment ideals and American
religion. The Enlightenment's effect on the major religious
traditions, including the Catholic Church, Evangelical
Protestantism, and Judaism, is examined. Also highlighted is
religion in the thinking of such representative figures as Edwards,
Franklin, Emerson, Lincoln, Santayana, and the Pragmatists, Stevens
and Eliot.
