Bible Note: "It is entirely wrong to place the rationalism of the Enlightenment in contradiction to pietistic mysticism [17th and 18th century]. It is popular nonsense that reason and mysticism are the two great opposites. Historically, Pietism and the Enlightenment both fought against Orthodoxy. The subjectivity [vs truth that is external to man] of Pietism, or the doctrine of the 'inner light' in Quakerism and the other ecstatic movements [experientialism, emotionalism, spiritism], has the character of immediacy or autonomy against the authority of the church. To put it more sharply, modern rational autonomy [radical individualism] is a child of the mystical autonomy of the doctrine of the inner light." --Professor Paul Tillich (1886-1965), from his book "A History of Christian Thought" (New York: Simon and Schuster) |
