Theology's Eminent Domain: And Other Papers

By William Reed Huntington

Book Overview

Theology's Eminent Domain: And Other Papers is a collection of essays written by William Reed Huntington, a prominent theologian and Episcopal priest in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book includes a variety of topics, ranging from theological debates to social and political issues of the time. In the titular essay, Huntington argues that theology has the authority to claim ""eminent domain"" over all other fields of knowledge, including science and philosophy. He contends that theology is the ultimate source of truth and that all other disciplines must defer to its teachings. Other essays in the collection touch on topics such as the role of the church in society, the relationship between Christianity and Judaism, and the nature of religious experience. Huntington's writing is characterized by a deep commitment to his faith and a desire to engage in thoughtful, nuanced discussions about the role of religion in contemporary life. Overall, Theology's Eminent Domain: And Other Papers is a thought-provoking and insightful collection of essays that will appeal to anyone interested in theology, philosophy, or religious studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
