The Age Of Reason

The Age of Reason is a book by Thomas Paine, which was first published in 1794. It is a philosophical treatise that challenges the traditional beliefs of Christianity and advocates for the use of reason and logic in understanding the world. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Paine’s critique of organized religion and the second part exploring his personal beliefs about God and the universe. Paine argues that religion is a human invention and that the Bible is not a reliable source of truth. He also discusses the role of reason in understanding the natural world and argues that the laws of nature are evidence of a divine creator. The Age of Reason was controversial at the time of its publication and was widely criticized by religious leaders. However, it has since become an important work in the history of philosophy and has influenced many thinkers and writers.THESE books, beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelations, (which, by the bye, is a book of riddles that requires a revelation to explain it) are, we are told, the word of God. It is, therefore, proper for us to know who told us so, that we may know what credit to give to the report. The answer to this question is, that nobody can tell, except that we tell one another so.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
