| The Bible and Reason: Anglicans and Scripture in Late Seventheenth-Century England 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. Gerard Reedy, S.J., is Professor of English at Fordham University. A Jesuit priest, he is also the author of several articles on seventeenth-century poetry and theology. |
