Descrição: The philosophical allegation of imposture levelled by the Radical Enlightenment at Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad - the three founders of the monotheistic religions - has a complex theological history. Strange as it may sound, it is an idea closely connected to some of the "dangerous" debates conducted by scholastic theologians. Some of these theologians described divine omnipotence in a manner that prompted the vexed question of whether God can deceive us. Of course, no theologian doubted that God could and yet would not deceive us. However, for some scholastics, God permitted the Devil to deceive men. After the Reformation, the Devil assumed a central role in debates between the Christian denominations. Depending on one's confessional allegiance, the Devil could be the Pope or Luther or Calvin. In this way, the churches of post-Reformation Europe contributed to a process by which the Devil was transformed into the human figure of the "impostor," preparing the ground, as this article shows, for later, more radical criticisms of religion per se.
