• Title:
  Conflicting Models of Faith: Browne vs Toland
• Creator:
  Jakapi, Roomet
• Description:
  In this paper, I consider two Early Modern conceptions of Christian faith, one proposed by John Toland (1670–1722) and the other by Peter Browne (1665–1735). I regard and analyse these conceptions as conflicting models of faith. On the basis of the comparative analysis, I claim that, according to Toland’s model, the Christian faith is a special kind of natural knowledge, while, according to Browne’s model, it is a set of voluntary beliefs concerning supernatural things that are partly revealed.
