The Age of Reason

Viac o knihe

Exploring the intersection of reason and faith, this treatise critiques organized religion and highlights the inconsistencies within the Bible. Paine advocates for rational empirical evidence as the basis for belief in God, positioning reason as a superior guide over religious dogma. The publication sparked significant controversy, prompting Paine to relocate to France. This edition uniquely includes the often-overlooked Third Part of the essay, enriching the reader's understanding of Paine's radical views on religion and reason.
