Jesus Through the Centuries

Eclipse of Biblical Narrative
Feuerbach and Theology
The first form of atheism is an inheritance from the skepticism of Hume, though one rather suspects that it is the common distillate of the thought of both rationalists and empiricists who were skeptical in matters religious. But undoubtedly Hume gave it classical expression, perhaps nowhere more succinctly than in the eleventh essay of the Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, where he suggests the foolishness of trying to establish theistic r…
