The Age Of Reason

The Age of Reason is a philosophical and political treatise written by Thomas Paine, a prominent figure in the American Revolution. The book was first published in three parts between 1794 and 1795, and it challenges the authority of the Christian Church and the Bible. Paine argues that reason and science should be the basis for human knowledge and morality, rather than religious dogma and superstition. He also critiques the concept of the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus, and the idea of miracles. The Age of Reason was controversial at the time of its publication, and it remains a significant work in the history of freethought and secularism. This book is recommended for readers interested in the history of philosophy, religion, and politics.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.
