postulates of the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Looking at the
tradition of scholastic theology, the Reformers thought they were confronted with
a faith system totally conditioned by philosophy, that is to say an articulation

on the other hand, sought
faith in its pure, primordial form, as originally found in the biblical Word.
Metaphysics appeared as a premise derived from another source, from which faith
had to be liberated in order to become once more fully itself. When Kant stated
that he needed to set thinking aside in order to make room for faith
Khoury quotes a work of the noted French Islamist R. Arnaldez, who points out that Ibn Hazn went so far as to state that God is not bound even by his own word,and that nothing would oblige him to reveal the truth to us.
Education was thus no longer directed toward people who were to be educated with a view to becoming fully developed human beings, but tospecialists, in order that they might train other specialist

and that their world is incomprehensible to us
