More about the book
Challenging institutionalized religion, this deistic pamphlet critiques the legitimacy of the Bible while advocating for reason over revelation. Written by Thomas Paine in the late 18th century, it presents arguments against the corruption of the Christian Church and its political ambitions. Paine views the Bible as mere literature, rejecting miracles and promoting natural religion alongside the concept of a creator-God. The work sparked a brief deistic revival in America but faced hostility in Britain amid fears of political radicalism during the French Revolution.
