Review of Trent Et Quarante: Natural Theology Trent Et Quarante (the origin of the term Trent) is a charming treatise of biblical naturalism. This book is a response the naturalism of seventeenth-century church fathers and the Reformation, which denied the doctrine of salvation by grace alone. Et Quarante argues, through this book, that grace is a work for free will and faith is a job for predestination. We choose to believe the way we will. The book's most important section is divided into three sections, each one dealing with one of three main theologies: original sin, grace, or merit. Parts one to three focus on the doctrines 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 two through three focus primarily on the doctrine of merit. Et Quarante presents an intriguing argument against the idea of original sin and holds that those who subscribe to this view do so on the basis of a misunderstanding of 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 believes that original sin binds a person to all the bad consequences of their behavior. 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. 먹튀검증 Et Quarante however points out that there are more merits than this. Remember, however, that salvation is not a result of sins. It is because we were created in God's image and likeness. There is therefore nothing outside of our union with God. This is the core of Et Quarante's metaphysics of 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. Et Quarante also tells the story of David, Bathsheba and the Absorption daughters. David had rejected the offering of Bathsheba, the daughter of Esdragel, for divorce because of her unfaithfulness 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 could not consummate their marriage because of the metaphysics of original sin. He was bound by God's commandments and the Law of Moses. Et Quarante heavily draws on the work of Robert Edward Grant and Hugh Walker in explaining this philosophy of merit, but he also acknowledges the debt he owes 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. These writers all support the doctrine of creation and divine providence. There are many passages that echo these arguments. The book contains many references to biblical scripture and other interpretive details. This is one of the most helpful books on natural theology that I have ever read. Trent Et Quarante provides a concise and clear explanation of this important topic. This guide is extremely useful for anyone who wishes to defend the faith. Joseph cornell-levine (eds.
