Faith vs. Reason: In a Quest for Fundamentals for a Religious Re-Signification

Authors

Keywords:

Faith, Reason, Humanism, Protestant Reform, Religion.

Abstract

As an effort to overcome the crisis of meaning that characterized the Late Middle Age, Erasmus and Luther—representatives, respectively, of the Renaissance’s Humanism and of the Protestant Reform—formulated proposals for re-signification of Religion from the perspective of its foundation. While Erasmus indicated Reason as the foundation of Religion, Luther affirmed the role of Faith. Their efforts indicate the importance of a Religion that was relevant for their time, but they point out also for the danger of a proposal that is not fully established in the Scriptures.
