Review of Trent Et Quarante on Natural Theology


Trent Et Quarante, origin of the term Trent, is really a delightful treatise on biblical naturalism, in origination of the title. This book is a response both to the naturalism in the Reformation as well as the seventeenth-century church dads who denied the doctrine that salvation is immediate by grace alone. Et Quarante argues in this book that grace is a work based on free will, while faith is a work based on predestination. In other words, we can choose to believe as we please.

먹튀검증 consists of three chapters that are divided into three parts. Each section deals with one or more of the three main theologies of original sin, grace or merit. Parts one through three deals primarily with the doctrine of original sin. This book contains a number insightful conversations between contributors. Some of these conversations are surprisingly honest about how they relate religious belief to their daily lives. Some conversations are quite poignant, given the subject matter.

Parts 2 through 3 focus primarily upon the doctrine of merit. Et Quarante offers an interesting argument against the notion of original sin. He argues that those who subscribe to this view do it because they have a misunderstood what it means. Et Quarante, John Locke, and others, believe that the doctrine of original sin is the source of the notion of merit. Locke's belief that original sin unites people with all the negative consequences of their actions is obvious. According to Et Qarante and his coauthors, if one follows Locke’s view on merit, one will inevitably be a sinner by end of one’s life.

Et Quarante, however, points out that there's more to merit than just this. Remember, however, that salvation is not a result of sins. It is because we were created in God's image and likeness. It is therefore impossible to live apart from God's union. This is Et Quarante’s metaphysics about original sin, and the root of his message. In this way, he presents salvation as a mystery and thus it is something not easy to understand.

In another interesting story, Et Quarante relates the story of David and Bathsheba, the daughters of Absorption. David had rejected the offer to Bathsheba, Esdragel's daughter, for divorce, because she was unfaithful to him. David was so enamored of Bathsheba that David was willing to marry him, but not for reasons of purity. He chose to marry Bathsheba to undo the harm he had caused. David was bound to the Law of Moses, the commandments of God, and the metaphysics of first sin made it impossible to end their marriage.

Et Quarante draws heavily upon the work of Robert Edward Grant, Hugh Walker and Anthony Coady to explain this philosophy of merit/demerit. However, he admits that he owes a debt to earlier works. Trent Et Quarante's own interest in medieval natural theology is evident in the fact that he includes several commentaries on the works of Basil, Origen, and Augustine. All of these writers support the doctrines of creation and divine providence. Many passages echo these arguments. The book contains many references to biblical scripture and other interpretive details.

This book is one of my favorite books on natural theology. Trent Et Quarante is a clear and concise explanation for this important subject. This guide is a great resource for anyone who wants the faith to be protected.
