Thomas Ahnert argues that this characteristically enlightened emphasis on conduct in religion was less reliant on arguments from reason alone than is commonly believed. In fact, the champions of the Scottish Enlightenment were deeply skeptical of the power of unassisted natural reason in achieving enlightened virtue and piety. They advocated a practical program of moral culture, in which revealed religion was of central importance. Ahnert traces this to theological controversies going back as far as the Reformation concerning the key question of early modern theology, the conditions of salvation. His findings present a new point of departure for all scholars interested in the intersection of religion and Enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOrders are despatched from our UK warehouse next working day.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51928212472096,"sku":"NEW0300153805","price":112.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-moral-culture-of-the-scottish-enlightenment-1690-1805-the-lewis-walpole-series-in-eighteenth-century-culture-and-history-0300153805","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
