The End of Reason

By Da'ud ibn Tamam ibn Ibrahim al-Shawni

The End of Reason in three parts explores the use of rational intellect, primarily in the form of analogical reasoning, to justify the ways of God to man and to address even the possibility of the existence of God. Reliance on "natural" religion is rejected and the work underscores the importance of revealed religion as the source of understanding God, but also demonstrates the limitations of that understanding, whether in literal or figurative (analogical) terms. Using both original stories and drawing others from Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scripture and apocrypha, the author confronts the logical contradictions of monotheism. At times provocative, The End of Reason, like the Book of Job, is a drama with little action and addresses uncomfortable questions for those who believe in God.
