Book excerpt: Interprets the works of an important group of writers known as 'the English deists'.

Download or read book Deism in Enlightenment England written by Jeffrey R Wigelsworth and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first complete study of English deists as a group in several decades and it argues for a new interpretation of deism in the English Enlightenment. While there have been many recent studies of the deist John Toland, the writings of other contemporary deists have been forgotten. With extensive analysis of lesser known figures such as Anthony Collins, Matthew Tindal, Thomas Chub, and Thomas Morgan, in addition to unique insights into Toland, Deism in Enlightenment England offers a much broader assessment of what deism entailed in the eighteenth century. Readers will see how previous interpretations of English deists, which place these figures on an irreligious trajectory leading towards modernity, need to be revised. This book uses deists to address a number of topics and themes and theme in English history and will be of particular interest to scholars of Enlightenment history, history of science, theology and politics, and the early modern era.
Download or read book Benjamin Franklin written by Thomas S. Kidd and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new biography, illuminating the great mystery of Benjamin Franklin’s faith Renowned as a printer, scientist, and diplomat, Benjamin Franklin also published more works on religious topics than any other eighteenth-century American layperson. Born to Boston Puritans, by his teenage years Franklin had abandoned the exclusive Christian faith of his family and embraced deism. But Franklin, as a man of faith, was far more complex than the “thorough deist” who emerges in his autobiography. As Thomas Kidd reveals, deist writers influenced Franklin’s beliefs, to be sure, but devout Christians in his life—including George Whitefield, the era’s greatest evangelical preacher; his parents; and his beloved sister Jane—kept him tethered to the Calvinist creed of his Puritan upbringing. Based on rigorous research into Franklin’s voluminous correspondence, essays, and almanacs, this fresh assessment of a well-known figure unpacks the contradictions and conundrums faith presented in Franklin’s life.
Download or read book The American Deists written by Kerry S. Walters and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging carved-in-stone tenets of Christianity, deism began sprouting in colonial America in the early 18th century, was flourishing nicely by the American revolution, and to all intents and purposes was dead by 1811. Despite its hasty demise, deism left a theological legacy. Christian sensibility would never be quite the same again.
Download or read book Did America Have a Christian Founding written by Mark David Hall and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinguished professor debunks the assertion that America's Founders were deists who desired the strict separation of church and state and instead shows that their political ideas were profoundly influenced by their Christian convictions. In 2010, David Mark Hall gave a lecture at the Heritage Foundation entitled "Did America Have a Christian Founding?" His balanced and thoughtful approach to this controversial question caused a sensation. C-SPAN televised his talk, and an essay based on it has been downloaded more than 300,000 times. In this book, Hall expands upon this essay, making the airtight case that America's Founders were not deists. He explains why and how the Founders' views are absolutely relevant today, showing that they did not create a "godless" Constitution; that even Jefferson and Madison did not want a high wall separating church and state; that most Founders believed the government should encourage Christianity; and that they embraced a robust understanding of religious liberty for biblical and theological reasons. This compelling and utterly persuasive book will convince skeptics and equip believers and conservatives to defend the idea that Christian thought was crucial to the nation's founding--and that this benefits all of us, whatever our faith (or lack of faith).

Download or read book Deism written by Logan Gray and published by Vellaz Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deism - Spirituality Without Religion Deism - Spirituality Without Religion is a gateway to a universe where the divine is not a being revealed in temples or scriptures, but an enigmatic force that permeates the hidden order of the cosmos. For great minds like Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, deism was the key to deciphering the mystery of a silent Creator, who, after establishing the immutable laws of the universe, withdrew, allowing creation to follow its own autonomous course. For them, it was in this infinite vastness, in the laws governing the movement of the stars, and in the complexity of life, that the trace of the sacred was found. This book does not offer ready-made answers but opens doors to the unknown, inviting the reader to leave behind the comfort of dogma and venture into a realm where true spirituality is discovered in pure reason and the contemplation of the unseen. What Einstein glimpsed in the equations that unraveled the cosmos, and Franklin intuited in crafting the principles of human freedom, was not a God who listens to prayers, but a hidden intelligence present in the subtlest details of nature. Deism - Spirituality Without Religion challenges the reader to get lost and found in a universe full of secrets, where morality emerges not from commandments but from the very laws that sustain life. As you turn each page, you will be prompted to question what is truly sacred and to explore a path of profound discoveries—where the distant and inaccessible Creator still whispers through the murmuring of the stars and the eternal dance of the atoms.
