Logic in Theology and Other Essays
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
In this collection of essays, English polymath Isaac Taylor demonstrates the effect of the Enlightenment on how Western people approach faith. “Logic in Theology” helps Christian approach abstract theology when the prevailing philosophical perspectives are dominated by natural science and empirical research. Taylor also discusses other pertinent themes in theology for the modern age. His essays provide keen insight into the religious and philosophical environment of nineteenth-century England, as well as significant scholarship on significant historical figures in Christian theology.

Say, when/if this book is developed, will you have a version with the old_old english as well? i.e. on page 5 (the first sample page) the words "folution of a phyfical problem" show instead "solution of a physical problem". Thanks.
