Blasphemy As Old As The Creation: Or The Newgate Divine, A Satyr (1730) is a satirical book written by Thomas Newcomb. The book is a critique of the religious hypocrisy prevalent in the society of the time. The author uses satire and humor to expose the greed, corruption, and immorality of the clergy and the church. The book is set in Newgate prison, where a group of inmates, including a corrupt priest, a prostitute, and a thief, discuss their experiences with religion and the church. The Newgate Divine, the corrupt priest, is portrayed as a hypocrite who preaches morality but indulges in all kinds of vices. The book is a scathing commentary on the state of religion and society in the 18th century. It is a must-read for those interested in the history of satire and the social and religious issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
