The Christian response to the Enlightenment varied, but many Christians saw it as a challenge to traditional beliefs and practices. Some saw it as an opportunity to engage in dialogue and incorporate reason and critical thinking into their faith. Others saw it as a threat to their beliefs and responded with skepticism or even hostility.
One key aspect of the Christian response to the Enlightenment was the emphasis on the compatibility of faith and reason. Christians sought to show that the truths revealed in scripture were not incompatible with the discoveries of the natural world or the advancements of human reason.
Scripture: Proverbs 2:6 – “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
