Humanism and the Church Fathers

Ambrogio Traversari (1386-1439) and the Revival of Patristic Theology in the Early Italian Renaissance

By: Charles L. Stinger

This study of the foremost patristic scholar in 15th-century Florence is based almost exclusively on manuscript letters and incunabula in Greek, Latin, and Italian. The influence of the revival of patristic studies on the meaning and purpose of Renaissance learning emerges as one of the original considerations in this book which should be of interest to humanists, generally, but also to art historians, intellectual history researchers, theologians, and philosophers.

A History of the Councils of the Church

from the Original Documents, to the close of the Second Council of Nicaea A.D. 787

By: Charles Joseph Hefele

Karl Hefele's 'Conciliengeschichte' was one of the most significant works of Catholic historical scholarship in the nineteenth century. William Clark's translation presents the first two and a half volumes of Hefele's study, up to the Second Council of Nicaea (the German original is nine volumes, through the year 1536). This study marked a new stage in the study of conciliar action.

The Wise Shall Understand

By: Charles Huntley Clever

The Bible has only one encrypted part that says: "The words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end" (Daniel 12:9). The author read many different Bible translations from "Genesis" to "Revelation" searching for the hidden "key" to open that last-day Bible-code. Discovering the "key" in 1974, he realized it was hidden because it applies today-especially for this significant time of history. It not only proves Jesus is the Messiah, the "sacrificial Lamb of God" and identifies the Abomination of Desolation that Christ warned us of, but defines the exact boundaries of earth's participation in the cosmic conflict between good and evil-these points are greatly misunderstood and subjects of controversy among most major religions. One minister who read an advanced copy of The Wise Shall Understand said: "We have been reading the Bible with grandpa's glasses on." How true! And this author requests you read this publication with spiritual enlightenment, allowing God to impress you with facts that have been overlooked yet are validated in the Bible. Today our society is overwhelmed with hatred, agnosticism, rebellion, atheism, and "a zeal for God but not according to godliness." World condition mandates this important message be made available to the public so the author paused in his missionary work in Latin America to have it published in book form.

Sacred Origins of Profound Things

The Stories Behind the Rites and Rituals of the World's Religions

By: Charles Panati

In this enlightening and entertaining work, Charles Panati explores the origins of hundreds of religious rituals, customs, and practices in many faiths, the reasons for religious holidays and sacred symbols, and the meanings of vestments, sacraments, devotions, and prayers. Its many revelations include: * Why the Star of David became the Jewish counterpart of the Christian cross * What mortal remains of the Buddha are venerated today * How the diamond engagement ring became a standard * That the first pope was a happily married man * How Hindu thinkers arrived at their concept of reincarnation * Why Jews don't eat pork, why some Muslims don't eat certain vegetables, and how some Christians came to observe meatless Fridays Sacred Origins of Profound Things is an indispensable resource for all those interested in the history of religion and the history of ideas--and an inspiring guide to those seeking to understand their faith.

Naturalism and Unbelief in France, 1650–1729

Naturalism and Unbelief in France, 1650–1729

By: Alan Charles Kors

Atheism was the most fundamental challenge to early-modern French certainties. Leading educators, theologians and philosophers labelled such atheism as manifestly absurd, confident that neither the fact nor behaviour of nature was explicable without reference to God. The alternative was a categorical naturalism. This book demonstrates that the Christian learned world had always contained the naturalistic 'atheist' as an interlocutor and a polemical foil, and its early-modern engagement and use of the hypothetical atheist were major parts of its intellectual life. In the considerations and polemics of an increasingly fractious orthodox culture, the early-modern French learned world gave real voice and eventually life to that atheistic presence. Without understanding the actual context and convergence of the inheritance, scholarship, fierce disputes, and polemical modes of orthodox culture, the early-modern generation and dissemination of absolute naturalism are inexplicable. This book brings to life that Christian learned culture, its dilemmas, and its unintended consequences.

Atheism in France, 1650-1729, Volume I

The Orthodox Sources of Disbelief

By: Alan Charles Kors

Although most historians have sought the roots of atheism in the history of "free thought," Alan Charles Kors contends that attacks on the existence of God were generated above all by the vitality and controversies of orthodox theistic culture itself. In this first volume of a planned two-volume inquiry into the sources and nature of atheism, he shows that orthodox teachers and apologists in seventeenth-century France were obliged by the logic of their philosophical and pedagogical systems to create many models of speculative atheism for heuristic purposes. Unusual in its broad sampling of the religious literature of the early-modern learned world, this book reveals that the "great fratricide" among bitterly competing schools of Aristotelian, Cartesian, and Malebranchist Christian thought encouraged theologians to refute each other's proofs of God and to depict the ideas of their theological opponents as atheistic. Such "fratricide" was not new in the history of Christendom, but Kors demonstrates that its influence was dramatically amplified by the expanding literacy of the seventeenth century. Capturing the attention of the reading public, theological debate provided intellectual grounds for the disbelief of the first generation of atheistic thinkers. Originally published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
