This paper examines competing accounts of how Western modernity reconfigured the fundamental disparity between divine and human, transcendence and immanence, sacred and profane. Max Weber's "disenchantment" thesis attributes secularization to comprehensive rationalization—a unified historical process encompassing bureaucratization, capitalist calculation, legal codification, and scientific mechanization. For Weber, these interconnected developments drive instrumental rationality into all spheres of life, rendering the world calculable and eliminating mystery. Divine presence becomes increasingly irrelevant as bureaucratic administration and scientific explanation dissolve the boundary between sacred and profane. Charles Taylor fundamentally challenges this narrative, arguing Weber presents a "subtraction story" that reverses cause and effect. Taylor contends that rationalization itself—including both the scientific revolution's mechanistic universe and bureaucratic organization—emerged from prior theological transformations within Christianity. Protestant Reform emphasized God's radical transcendence and separation from creation, desacralizing nature and enabling its purely naturalistic investigation. This intensified Creator-creation distinction paradoxically facilitated both modern rationality and "excarnation"—the withdrawal of divine presence from embodied reality. The paper explores how these competing narratives illuminate different dimensions of modernity's reconfiguration of divine-human disparity, transcendence-immanence relations, and the sacred-profane boundary, with implications for disciplines such as systematic theology, philosophy of religion, or the philosophy of science.
