Hello all--
>does any one know who coined the term "age of faith" for the middle ages,
>and,corresponding, "age of reason" for the 17/18th century? "Zeitalter des

I'm not sure about "Age of Reason," but I associate "Age of Faith" with the
Durants' multi-volume work on Western civilization. I'm not sure whether
they actually coined it, however.
