The Age of Reason

By: Thomas Paine

Narrated by: Robin Field

Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason; Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology, published in three parts from 1794, was a best seller in America, where it caused a short-lived deistic revival. Promoting a creator-God while advocating reason in the place of revelation, Paine’s controversial pamphlet caused his native British audience, fearing the results of the French Revolution, to receive it with more hostility than their American counterparts. This passionate and engaging recording of Paine’s classic is as certain to provoke modern listeners to thought as it did his original audience.

A ideas hidden in plain view...

clear presentation of often neglected historical significance. clear presentation of often neglected historical significance

little too much emotion

the story was amazing. the book was amazing! very articulate and detailed in the arguments against religion. I love Paine, but I think the reader of the story was trying to guess just how frustrated Paine was with religion by adding emotional exclamation in some sentence or emotionally emphasizing a word and the end of a sentence to show how impatient he was at explaining this to religious people.

THE KERNEL OF STEM N MECHANICAL ARTS

PAINE IS ONE OF MY IDOLS...I JUST WISH HE COULD HAVE USED MUCH BETTER TONE, EXPRESSIONS AND WORDS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH THOMAS PAINE.

Under-appreciated.

This historic work gives great of information to consider on Western Religion and it’s shortcomings.
