Reason, Grace, and Sentiment: A Study of the Language of Religion and Ethics in England, 1660-1780: Shaftesbury to Hume
I continue to struggle with processing these types of books. I enjoyed reading about Coles and his ideas more than I enjoyed reading his book itself. I found the writing to be quite convoluted. This book is a collection of 4 essays and the premise is decent, the book is short enough, and the ideas should be easy enough to follow, but it was just hard for me to process. Coles traces how humankind was more dependent on a deity for guidance in the past(he starts with Old Testament times and Abraham) and has progressed over time to be more dependent on human reason and therefore on oneself rather than on community. He uses many literary and psychological examples (Freud, Eliot, Hardy, Percy etc.) to trace this transformation. I found a comment by one woman very interesting--in her youth she prayed for God's revelation to her so she could do His will and follow His plan for her life; now she finds she is talking to herself in prayer asking God to support her plans and family.
