Synopsis

This, the third volume of the series, is a selected set of revised versions of the theological musings of selected philosophers, together with four reconstructed parables from modern prophet poets. Its purpose is to provide a framework for the theological texts presented in the earlier volumes. All the texts have been transliterated to conform, insofar as that is possible, with modern scientific understanding and liberal ethics, and hopefully to make them easier to read. The volume commences with Tom Paine's assault on the incoherent dogmatism of much of traditional scripture, with further philosophical excerpts succeeding. The parables follow, with condensations from Locke and Kant, as the most challenging pieces, placed towards the end. A short extract from Jung effectively acts as an appropriate conclusion.
