The central thesis of this book is that skepticism was instrumental to the defense of orthodox religion and the development of the identity of the Church of England. Examining the presence of skepticism in non-fiction prose literature at four transitional moments in English Protestant history during which orthodoxy was challenged and revised, Melissa Caldwell argues that a skeptical mode of thinking is embedded in the literary and rhetorical choices made by English writers who straddle the project of reform and the maintenance of orthodoxy after the Reformation in England. Far from being a radical belief simply indicative of an emerging secularism, she demonstrates the varied and complex appropriations of skeptical thought in early modern England. By examining a selection of various kinds of literature-including religious polemic, dialogue, pamphlets, sermons, and treatises-produced at key moments in early modern England’s religious history, Caldwell shows how the writers under consideration capitalized on the unscripted moral space that emerged in the wake of the Reformation. The result was a new kind of discourse--and a new form of orthodoxy--that sought both to exploit and to contain the skepticism unearthed by the Reformation.

It is true that mankind himself has probably always been characterized with the main desire to determine just what spiritual truth really is. For centuries and centuries, highly educated philosophers and religious men alike have always stood toe to toe, disagreeing on spiritual truth. Since they cannot all be right, this would strongly indicate that education, religious persuasion, or even intelligence has little to do with our discovery of the real spiritual truth. For if these things were truly critical, then obviously the spiritual/intellectual giants of history would have agreed on spiritual truth long ago. In this work, author Ted Even endeavors to show that the disagreeing intellectuals/skeptics of the past only serve to reinforce Christ's radical statement about our need to just become like little children in order to discover the spiritual truth, and that literally everyone has the same opportunity to enter the kingdom of heaven on that basis. However, while super intelligence or big degrees may not be necessary, the discovery of spiritual truth does require just one very reasonable quality of heart, which little children have always possessed. Find out just what this basic quality of heart is, as you continue your search for spiritual truth within this simple-to-understand work which only leaves the real spiritual truth left standing.

What were the possibilities and limits of vision in the early modern world? Drawing upon experiences forged in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, Seeing Across Cultures shows how distinctive ways of habituating the eyes in the early modern period had profound implications-in the realm of politics, daily practice and the imaginary. Beyond their interest in visual culture, the essays here expand our understanding of transcultural encounters and the history of vision.

The concept of God's two kingdoms was foundational to Luther and subsequent Lutheran theology. Since the middle of the nineteenth century, that concept has been understood primarily as a political concept. But is a political reading of the two kingdoms a perversion of Luther's teaching? Leading Reformation scholar William Wright contends that those who read Luther politically and see in Luther a compartmentalized approach to Christian life are misreading the Reformer. Wright reassesses the original breadth of Luther's theology of the two kingdoms and the cultural contexts from which it emerged. He argues that Luther's two-kingdom worldview was not a justification for living irresponsibly on planet earth.

A Journey Through Faith and Doubt: Navigating Modern Skepticism with Ancient Wisdom In a world where skepticism and faith collide, Divine Dialogue: Christian Responses to Modern-Day Skepticism offers a refreshing exploration into the heart of Christianity's most pressing questions and controversies. This compelling book is not just another apologetics manual; it is a deeply engaging journey into understanding, defending, and living out Christian faith amidst the challenges of the 21st century. Embark on a fascinating voyage that begins with laying the groundwork in understanding the nature of skepticism and the importance of apologetics in today's discourse. The introductory chapter sets the stage for a profound exploration of faith and reason, inviting readers to embrace the conversation with an open mind and heart. Dive into the Historical Jesus , separating fact from fiction with an unbiased look at sources beyond the Bible, critically examining claims of mythology and providing a sturdy foundation for the quest for truth. Miracles and Mystery follow, challenging the scientific age's dismissal of the supernatural, and offering philosophical musings alongside robust counterarguments to Hume's critiques. The narrative then shifts to more complex themes such as the Problem of Evil and Suffering, the intersection of Christianity and Other Religions, and the always contentious debate on Creation, Evolution, and Christianity. Each chapter is meticulously crafted, presenting an unbiased view that encourages critical thinking and dialogue. Morality, Ethics, and the undeniable cornerstone of Christian belief, the Resurrection , are examined through the lens of rigorous scholarship and accessible storytelling. The book doesn't shy away from contemporary issues, offering perspectives on biblical ethics in today's society and engaging readers in the nuanced debate of morality's absoluteness. As the journey concludes, Divine Dialogue doesn't leave its readers at the doorstep of knowledge but invites them to continue the conversation in their everyday lives, making apologetics a living, breathing aspect of their faith. The book calls to those eager to deepen their understanding, ready to face doubts with dignity, and willing to engage in respectful, informed discourse. Whether you're a skeptic seeking answers, a believer looking to strengthen your faith, or simply curious about the intersection of Christianity and modern skepticism, this book is a beacon of light in a often polarized world. Divine Dialogue: Christian Responses to Modern-Day Skepticism promises not just to inform, but to transform, encouraging an informed faith that stands resilient in the face of questioning.
