Learn how to read Scripture with care and discernment, not by taking verses out of context.
This collection presents clear, accessible guidance on Holy Scripture and its interpretation. It urges readers to recognize the Bible’s diverse voices and the differences between its Jewish and Christian horizons, while warning against over-simplified readings that clash with reason and conscience.
From historical debates and the dangers of misreading to the humility needed when engaging sacred texts, the work encourages careful study and thoughtful reflection. It questions blanket claims about every verse and invites readers to weigh sources, contexts, and authorship with discipline and compassion.
Ideal for readers seeking a balanced, thoughtful approach to scripture within a historical and moral context.

Excerpt from Conscience and Faith: La Conscience Et La Foi, Five Lectures
His son Athanase grew up under his eye, and devoted himself with enthusiasm to the defence of the same principles; Following in his father's foot steps, he soon emancipated himself from dogmatic Calvinism, and acquired a breadth of disposition and a liberality of mind which secured him against the attractions of the so-called Methodist orthodoxy, which was already very active among the Protestant communities of France. And here we must pause to consider the origin of the conflict which at the present moment threatens French Protestantism with an irreconcilable schism. It is difficult for Englishmen to form a clear idea of it, not because the religious ideas involved are unfamiliar, but because the ecclesiastical sentiments called into play are quite distinct from their own.

Excerpt from Conscience and Faith: La Conscience Et La Foi, Five Lectures
Liberal Protestantism in France has just suffered a loss, from many points of view irreparable, in the person of Athanase Josue Coquerel, generally known in his native country as Athanase Coquerel the younger, in contradistinction to his father, the celebrated preacher, whose Christian name was the same.
Athanase Coquerel the younger was born in 1820 at Amsterdam, where his father, then very young, was minister of the Walloon Church.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This 19th-century text explores the concept of conscience and its central role in human existence. The author argues that conscience provides a necessary framework for understanding our place in the world and our relationship with God. This examination of conscience's three fundamental aspects - personal consciousness, moral consciousness, and religious consciousness - aims to demonstrate that conscience should be the ultimate arbiter of our beliefs and actions. The author posits that conscience is both a product of our human experience and a gift from God, providing us with a moral compass and a connection to the divine. By examining conscience in relation to God, human life, Holy Scripture, Jesus Christ, and the Church, the author seeks to show that conscience is an essential guide for navigating the complexities of life and faith.
