The Age of Revelation: Or the Age of Reason Shown to Be an Age of Infidelity (1801) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781498159142)

The Age of Revelation, also known as The Age of Reason Shown to be an Age of Infidelity, is a book written by Elias Boudinot in 1801. In this work, Boudinot argues against the ideas of Thomas Paine and other Enlightenment thinkers who sought to replace traditional religious beliefs with rationalistic ones. Boudinot contends that this ""Age of Reason"" is in fact an age of infidelity, as it undermines the authority of scripture and promotes a dangerous skepticism towards religious truth. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which provides a historical overview of the development of religious faith, while the second and third parts focus on the specific arguments of Paine and other critics of Christianity. Boudinot's work is a passionate defense of traditional Christian beliefs and an attack on the rationalism of the Enlightenment, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religious thought in the early United States.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1801 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
