Story4.5 out of 5 stars 436
Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason; Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology, published in three parts from 1794, was a best seller in America, where it caused a short-lived deistic revival. Promoting a creator-God while advocating reason in the place of revelation, Paine’s controversial pamphlet caused his native British audience, fearing the results of the French Revolution, to receive it with more hostility than their American counterparts.

Incredible polemic of Christianity
Reviewed: 05-20-24
In part one, Thomas Paine lays out his argument for his disappointment in Christianity and the falsehoods found in it. In part two, he painstakingly goes through the Bible and uses its own words to show how the New Testament isn’t a 2000+ year old book that was written by the Apostles. And neither is the former part a 5000 year old book. Instead, it was written by poets and authors who simply wanted to write stories and was compiled into this larger book called “the Bible” hundreds of years after the death of Jesus Christ.
