Several scholars have claimed that the decline of revealed or Scriptural mysteries in the early Enlightenment was a consequence of the trajectories of Reformed theology in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Reformed theology's fideistic stance, it is claimed, undermined earlier frameworks for relating reason to revealed mysteries; consequently, rationalism emerged as an alternative to such fideism in figures like the Cambridge Platonists. This article argues that Reformed theologians of the seventeenth century were not fideists but re‐affirmed Medieval claims about the eschatological concord of reason and revealed mysteries. Furthermore, the article suggests that early Enlightenment attitudes to religious mysteries owe more to innovations in Socinianism and Cambridge Platonism than to mainstream Reformed theology.

二十世纪流行病学中原因的归化

几位学者声称，启蒙运动初期揭示或圣经之谜的减少是16世纪和17世纪改革宗神学轨迹的结果。据称，改革了神学的信仰立场，破坏了先前的框架，将原因与揭露的谜团联系起来。因此，在像剑桥柏拉图主义者这样的人物中，理性主义代替了这种理想主义。本文认为，十七世纪的改革宗神学家不是信义主义者，而是重申了中世纪关于理性的末世论调解的主张，并揭示了奥秘。此外，文章建议早期的启蒙运动对宗教奥秘的态度更多地归因于索契主义和剑桥柏拉图主义的创新，而不是归因于改革宗神学的主流。
