The Devil's Whore: Reason and Philosophy in the Lutheran Tradition (Studies in Lutheran History and Theology)

By: Jennifer Hockenbery Dragseth

Martin Luther's disdain for philosophy is well known, and the Lutheran tradition has been wary of its constructs. Yet the tradition also includes philosophical giants-from Melanchthon to Kierkegaard to Nietzsche. This volume assumes that such skepticism about reason actually opened up new ways of doing and seeing philosophy.
