Excerpt from Remarks on the First Part of a Book, Entitled "the Age of Reason": Addressed to Thomas Paine, Its Author
Vi hen we behold the profaneness of man ners, and the contempt of things sacred, which prevail; and notice that practical disregard of every moral principle, which, in many instances, is but too conspicuous we cannot but inquire into the cause or causes, which have conspired to produce these effects, and into the consequences, of which they seem to be the ominous pre sages. The former, no doubt, are variously combined; but, how diverse soever they may be in their operations, they all unite to establish mental anarchy, and to prepare the mind for the reception of principles correspondent with that practice which 18 already established.

Excerpt from Remarks on the First Part of a Book, Entitled "the Age of Reason": Addressed to Thomas Paine, Its Author
When civilized nations adopt a profaneness of manners, under a pretence of throwing off mental restraints, it is but natural for a thinking mind to inquire into the occasion, on a larger scale than the mere action presents. The deeds which we perceive, confine our observations; but a retrospection on the past, and a calculation on the future, will open sources of information, on human conduct, which the visibility of things cannot afford.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the rationality of atheism, particularly the arguments of Thomas Paine in The Age of Reason. The author contends that Paine's arguments against the Bible rely on mischaracterizing the text and misunderstanding the nature of Revelation. The author argues that reason and authority are not inherently incompatible and that it is reasonable to accept the Bible as a source of knowledge about God and morality. This book delves into the philosophical and historical context of the debate between theism and atheism, exploring the nature of evidence, the problem of evil, and the role of faith in human experience.
