The Age of Reason
1794–1807 · text from Wikisource
Paine's case for deism: belief in one God known through reason and nature, and against revealed religion, church authority, and the claim that the Bible is the word of God.
Thomas Paine (1737–1809), the author of Common Sense and Rights of Man, published The Age of Reason in parts between 1794 and 1807. Much of Part I was written in Paris as the Terror closed in, and he was imprisoned shortly after finishing it.
