Reflections Upon a Theological Distinction According to Which It Is Said, That Some Articles of Faith Are Above Reason, But not Against Reason

Abstract

This is a Russian translation of a text by Robert Boyle, which deals with the problem of faith and reason. Boyle claims that some truths of Christianity are above possibilities of human reason: human reason can’t achieve them unassisted by God’s revelation. But this doesn’t mean that these truths are against reason. The translation is premised by a small preface, which explains the importance of Boyle’s text and situates it in a historical-cultural context.
