In examining the problems and historical precursors of rational theology, he calls on philosophy, theology, history of science, and the history of ideas to find an interpretation of Christianity that is compatible with a genuine commitment to reason. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays in the first part of \u003ci\u003eGod as Reason\u003c\/i\u003e deal with issues of philosophical theology. Hle sketches the challenges that a rationalist theology must face and discusses some of the central ones, such as the possibility of a teleological interpretation of nature after Darwin, the theodicy issue, freedom versus determinism, the mindbody problem, and the relation in general between religion, theology, and philosophy. In the essays of the second part, Hle studies the historical development of philosophical approaches to the Bible, the continuity between the New Testament concept of \u003ci\u003epneuma\u003c\/i\u003e and the concept of \u003ci\u003eGeist\u003c\/i\u003e (spirit) in German idealism, and the rationalist theologies of Anselm, Abelard, Llull, and Nicholas of Cusa, whose innovative philosophy of mathematics is the topic of one of the chapters. The book concludes with a thorough evaluation of Charles Taylor's theory of secularization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ambitious work will interest students and scholars of philosophical theology and philosophy of religion as well as historians of ideas and science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vittorio Hle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268206198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268206192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Vittorio Hle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077876150527,"sku":"9780268206192","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf5fbf1f-105c-4788-8717-1938c4a6e363.jpg?v=1685472262","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/god-as-reason-vittorio-hsle-9780268206192","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
