Description
A scathing indictment of what Thomas Paine saw as a corrupt Christian Church, The Age of Reason was met with harsh criticism upon its original publication in 1794. It criticizes the Church's attempts to gather political power and takes a rational approach in its analysis of the Bible as a piece of ordinary literature. Lauded for its accessibility and vigor, this book is an important political work and a foundational document of American democracy. Despite the controversy surrounding its release, The Age of Reason has since become a cornerstone of secularism. And its informal style and irreverent tone successfully introduced the masses to a kind of deistic thought that had been previously restricted to the aristocracy. Perennially compelling for its well-reasoned arguments and historical value, The Age of Reason is a must-read for anyone interested in political theory, religion, or American history.
