Kurzbeschreibung
Thomas Paine was a devout deist. That is, he believed in God, not because of faith, but rather because of the rational empirical evidence that the natural world provides. The Age of Reason was Paine's treatise on religion. At the time of its publication it caused such a furor that Paine had to move to France to escape it. The book was a indictment of organized religion and its practices. Furthermore, he pointed out that the Bible was full of inconsistencies and therefore not something to be relied on. Reason should be our guide before even the Bible or other religious dogma. Included in this edition is the Third Part of the essay, which most editions fail to include.

The best promulgation of Deism ever,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Age of Reason (Great Books in Philosophy) (Taschenbuch)
Paine, the man who coined the words "United States of America" and another of the USA's non-Christian founding fathers, has written what is easily the best book about deism, period. I personally do not accept the arguments from either design or the anthropic principle, so I am not a deist (luckily, you won't find nasty words like "anthropic" in this book, just some outdated English).But what this book does for biblical criticism is wonderful. Paine burns the "Good News" to ashes with his wit and brilliant prose. This book, although it would clearly violate the separation of church and state to have it read in schools, should nevertheless be read by young people (I read it when I was 18) who are interested in religion. Paine honestly looks at the bible, and finds it (correctly) to be a pack of lies. I won't quote from the book, but I can say that what you read in it will never be used by the religious right when they spout their drivel about our's being a Christian nation. We are lucky to have had an American as bold as Thomas Paine to write the truth about religion, I only wish there were people like that today.

The best book I have read on the subject of religion,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Age of Reason (Great Books in Philosophy) (Taschenbuch)
Thomas Paine's book against Christianity is a classic to Free-thinkers for its revolutionary courage and thought. I loved it for the honest, simple, eloquent language Paine brought to the work, and the countless errors and absurdities he found both in the Bible and the Church orthodoxy. The author gave the reader his opinions on religion, but his opinions consisted of far more than simple statements about what he thought of the doctrines of the Church. He gave his reasoning behind his denial of the virgin birth and mosaic account, and each reasoning is a blow to the religion's reasonable contentions. His belief in Deism and therefore a belief in God may be categorized as showing faith, but many do not realize the politics attached to the work. He wanted to take power away from the Church hierarchy while leading others from reactionary athiesm (believing in no God because of the belief was corrupted by the Church). Also, athiesm was not a rational conclusion during this time period because Newtonian science showed an intelligent system to the universe. The best recommendation for this book comes from those who did not give it 5 stars. They obviously disagree with the book's conclusions in some way. The atheist or agnostic cannot get over the fact that he accepted a God who revealed himself through science. The Christian says he missed the "true meaning" of the religion. They both remain silent about the evidence Paine brings against the Bible because they know he is correct, and so do I.

Mind-opening,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Age of Reason (Taschenbuch)
For the first time in my life, I realized how often I had allowed others to tell me what I believed. Few books have ever had such an incredible impact on my life. Am I still a Christian? Yes. I am grateful for Thomas Paine for turning my blind faith, into a faith with my eyes wide open.
