Description
Theological Essays and Other Papers by Thomas De Quincey is a two-volume work that delves into various theological topics. The first volume contains essays on Christianity as a political movement, Protestantism, the concept of eternity in scripture, Judas Iscariot, Hume's argument against miracles, casuistry, and Greece under the Romans. De Quincey explores the secretive yet potent workings of Christianity in political contexts, contrasting it with the idolatrous religions of Greece and Rome. He highlights the lack of doctrinal elements in pagan religions, focusing solely on cultus or ceremonial worship. In contrast, Christianity introduces new ideas about the nature of God, emphasizing abstract qualities and a conscious personality. De Quincey discusses the concrete individuality of pagan gods, their wickedness, and incarnations, contrasting them with the more generic and spiritual concept of God in Christian theology. The work sheds light on the philosophical and moral implications of different religious beliefs, emphasizing the unique characteristics of Christianity as an organ of political movement.
