The Essence of Christianity

Note 5 — Chapter XIX · THE ESSENTIAL STANDPOINT OF RELIGION.

George Eliot translation

A kindred doctrine is that of the Concursus Dei, according to which, God not only gives the first impulse, but also co-operates in the agency of the second cause. For the rest, this doctrine is only a particular form of the contradictory dualism between God and Nature, which runs through the history of Christianity. On the subject of this remark, as of the whole paragraph, see Strauss: Die Christliche Glaubenslehre, B. ii. § 75, 76. ↑
