About this ebook

The Age of Reason follows in the tradition of eighteenth-century British deism, and challenges institutionalized religion and the legitimacy of the Bible. The Age of Reason presents common deistic arguments, highlighting what Paine saw as corruption of the Christian Church and criticizing its efforts to acquire political power.

Author

Thomas Paine

Thomas Paine (1736-1809) was an English born American activist, philosopher, and author. Before moving to America, Paine worked as a stay maker, but would often get fired for his questionable business practices. Out of a job, separated from his wife, and falling into debt, Paine decided to move to America for a fresh start. There, he not only made a fresh start for himself, but helped pave the way for others, too. Paine was credited to be a major inspiration for the American Revolution. His series of pamphlets affected American politics by voicing concerns that were not yet intellectually considered by early American society.
