DigiCat, 2022

In "The Idea of God as Affected by Modern Knowledge," John Fiske embarks on an intellectual journey that examines the evolving conception of divinity through the lens of contemporary scientific and philosophical advancements. Utilizing a blend of rigorous analysis and accessible prose, Fiske situates his discourse within the vibrant context of late 19th-century thought, where scientific discovery and the quest for knowledge were reshaping religious beliefs. His insights deftly navigate the tensions between faith and reason, emphasizing how modern epistemology influences traditional theological constructs. Fiske, a prominent philosopher and historian, was deeply engaged with the intellectual currents of his time, including Darwinism and the emergence of social sciences. His background in both philosophy and history, coupled with a keen interest in the intersection of science and religion, enabled him to tackle such profound questions. Fiske's earlier works established him as a leading thinker, well-positioned to explore the implications of modern knowledge on humanity's understanding of God. This book is a vital resource for readers interested in the interplay between science and religion, as it not only provides a historical perspective but also invites contemporary discourse on the relevance of divine concepts in an era characterized by scientific rationality. Fiske's eloquent arguments challenge assumptions and inspire critical thought, making this work a must-read for anyone engaged in theological or philosophical studies.
