The Bible and Reason is organized around actual topics of
theological controversy from 1660 to 1700: what it means to say
that Scripture is true, how Scripture and polity are related, how
to conceive the canon of the Scripture, and how to understand
challenges to the rational theology in question. Based on the
writings of John Tillotson, Edward Stillingfleet, Isaac Barrow, and
Robert South, Gerard Reedy's book integrates their theories with
the ideas and practices of John Dryden, John Locke, Edward Hyde,
the earl of Clarendon, and other contemporary writers and contrasts
this traditional scriptural interpretation with the new rationalism
of Thomas Hobbes, Spinoza, John Toland, and Richard Simon. In
contrast with the Puritan tradition, the Anglican establishment
sponsored Scripture reading based not on the Inner Light, but on a
public verification of interpretation, a "rational" method seen in
the several proofs Anglicans proposed for the truth of Scripture,
in their responses to some assessments of the integrity of
Scripture, and in their argument with anti-Trinitarians. The Bible
and Reason is of interest to scholars in seventeenth-century
English literature and philosophy, historians of the Bible and
modern religion, and researchers in intellectual history.
