The Age Of Revelation

The Age of Revelation, also known as The Age of Reason Shown to be an Age of Infidelity, is a book written by Elias Boudinot in 1801. The book is a response to Thomas Paine's influential work, The Age of Reason, which argued against organized religion and promoted deism. Boudinot, a prominent American lawyer and statesman, argues that reason alone cannot provide a complete understanding of the world and that faith is necessary to truly comprehend the mysteries of existence. He contends that Paine's work is not only misguided but also dangerous, as it promotes a worldview that undermines the foundations of society and morality. The Age of Revelation is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the development of Christianity and the role of faith in society. The second part critiques Paine's arguments and defends the importance of religion in human life. The third part offers a positive vision of Christianity and its potential to transform individuals and society. Boudinot's book was widely read and influential in its time, and it remains an important historical document in the ongoing debate over the role of religion in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
