Reason, The Only Oracle of Man; or, A compenduous system of natural religion

Více o knize

The book explores the complexities and ambiguities of prophetic language, particularly in religious texts. It argues that many prophecies, such as those referring to "the last days," are inherently vague and open to multiple interpretations. This uncertainty renders them ineffective as proof of divine revelation, as they can be applied to various events across different time periods. The discussion highlights how such prophecies can lead to arbitrary interpretations by individuals, often driven by personal beliefs or agendas, rather than clear, definitive understanding.
