Synopsis

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Secommentiatton. TOM r. D. FENTON. BELIEVING you to be desirous .to select only such works for publication vas may have the tendency to promote the fcause of evangelical truth and piety, I the more readily give you my opinion i Cof the utility of republishing The Doc trine of the Passions by the Rev. Dr. Watts, and Evidences of the Christian ;;; Religion, by the Right Hon. Joseph A dbison, Esq. These works are so evidently calculated to establish the faith and to imprpve the practice of christian readers, that recommendation is useless. Ad dison s Evidences contain such plain and 4positive proofs of the history of Jesus IC hrist and his religion, as must carry conviction to the lowest capacity, and must invincibly overthrow every argument or objection which the wit or the wickedness of deism or infidelity may raise against divine revelation.
