Discover John Donne’s Essays in Divinity, a lucid expedition into faith, reason, and early modern theology.
This edition illuminates how Donne weighs the big questions of creation, existence, and the nature of God, set against the background of his own reforming journey between Rome and the Church of England.
In these pages, you’ll see a scholar’s approach to scripture and tradition. Donne canvasses multiple readings of the opening of Genesis, tracing how different authorities have interpreted “heaven and earth” and the creation narrative. The text also situates these debates within his life, offering context for his pursuit of truth through prayer, study, and sustained inquiry.Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
