Excerpt from Reason, the Only Oracle of Man, or a Compendious System of Natural Religion
Soon after the close of the revolution, Col. Allen composed the following work; which, on account of the bold and unusual manner, particularly in this country, that the subject of religion is treated, he had great difficulty to get published. It lay a long time in the hands of a printer at Hartford, who had not the moral courage to print it.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique perspective on religion, arguing for reason to be the sole oracle of man. The author posits that knowledge of God and morality can be gained through contemplation of nature and our own rational capacities, rather than relying on divine revelation or religious dogma. The book challenges traditional notions of God, arguing against the concepts of jealousy, vengeance, and the election of a chosen few for salvation. Instead, it presents a view of God as a rational, benevolent, and impartial being, whose providence extends to all creatures. The author contends that physical evils are an inherent part of the natural order, not divine punishments for sin, and that both virtue and vice have natural consequences in this life, rather than eternal rewards or punishments. Through these arguments, the book advocates for the importance of reason, morality, and a rejection of superstition and irrational beliefs in matters of religion.
