Excerpt from A Critical History of Rationalism in Germany: From Its Origin to the Present Time
It is my intention to attempt to set forth the origin, development and consequences of that phase of religious opinion which has arisen in Germany under the name of Rationalism; and which, while it has opposed a strong barrier to the progress of French Deism and English Naturalism, has nevertheless inflicted a blow on the Christian faith, from which it will not soon recover. The name of Rationalists, adopted by those members of the Christian community who have thrown off the yoke of the ancient faith, may be easily misunderstood, I myself, at first, imagined that it signified the wise and constant exercise of reason on religious subjects; but in studying the matter historically, I soon found that it is the same with this word, as with many others, which, having lost their original meaning, now express an idea directly contrary to that which their etymology seems to indicate. It is indisputably true that God, in granting reason to man, has not forbidden its exercise. As religion, the queen of all minds, possesses over them indestructible rights, so also human reason has rights which cannot be disputed; and as Kant has justly said, "The faith which should oppose itself to reason could not long exist." Taking this view, we form an idea of Rationalism similar to that conceived by the great Leibnitz; which, with our present ideas of truth, we cannot regard as unreasonable. But this right of the human reason to examine and discuss, differs widely from its self-constitution as supreme judge in subjects of religion, and the wish to submit to its own tribunal, which it declares infallible, God and conscience. This, however, has been the case in modern times, when philosophy has openly avowed itself the enemy of Christianity, and when those who were terrified by its rash demands have sought to confound them by the devices of Rationalism, thus hastening the ruin of the edifice which they aspired to restore.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origin, development, and consequences of Rationalism in Germany. Rationalism is a system of religious thought that arose in Germany in the 18th century, which asserted the right of exercising reason over matters of faith and morality. The author places Rationalism within its broader historical context, showing how it arose in response to the perceived shortcomings of traditional Christianity. The author traces the development of Rationalism through the works of key thinkers such as Ernesti, Semler, and Schleiermacher. The author argues that the insights of this book are significant because they shed light on the history of religious thought and the tension between faith and reason that continues to shape religious discourse.
