During and after the Enlightment, many of the philosophers were still Christian (e.g., Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Hobbes), although it in many cases their philosophical thought suggests a rejection of traditional Christian doctrines and a more general theistic belief. Philosophers of the middle ages (known as scholastics) were known by their methods of reasoning that they used for rigorous textual analysis of biblical texts. Their focus on formal methods of interpretation and argument led to a lot of work in logic, following that of Aristotle.
