Subject: God is not the author of evil. |
Bible Note: Thanks, Steve. I'm 1/4 through that terrific Belloc essay on Islam you URL'd me: (http://www.ewtn.com/library/HOMELIBR/HERESY4.TXT) A great book to go with it is Bernard Lewis' "What Went Wrong? The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East." Lewis says that Islam's early embrace of classical learning was because its theology emphasized knowledge as a route to the divine. I like the Romantics, sometimes. Colin. |
