12. Ideas Have Consequences “Strict Calvinists had maintained that the human mind was blinded in mankind’s Fall from innocence; in the Common Sense [philosophy ] version, the intellect seemed to suffer from a slight astigmatism only. Moreover, one of the first dictates of Common Sense philosophy was that individuals were moral agents capable of free choice. These premises … were at odds with traditional views of determinism and depravity.” (Marsden, p. 16)

13. Ideas Have Consequences “The Protestant doctrine of the perspicuity [ie., clarity of understanding] of Scripture provided a further basis for the belief that the common person could readily understand Biblical teaching. Common Sense paralleled this doctrine with its insistence on the perspicuity of nature. … God’s truth was unified, so it was inevitable that science would confirm Scripture. … The old order of American Protestantism was based on the interrelationship of faith, science, the Bible, morality, and civilization. It was about to crumble.” (Marsden, p. 16-17)
