Thomas Paine: The Age of Reason, Gebunden

Klappentext

The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine is a philosophical work that critiques organized religion and promotes deism, the belief in a rational creator known through nature rather than revelation. Paine argues that reason and scientific inquiry, not scripture or church authority, should guide religious belief. He challenges the Bible's divine authority, questions miracles and prophecy, and condemns institutional religion for fostering superstition and intolerance. Overall, the book defends freedom of thought and urges individuals to rely on moral reasoning and observation of the natural world to understand God.
