Summary of Age of Reason: The Definitive Edition

"Age of Reason: The Definitive Edition" brings to light Thomas Paine’s fearless pursuit of religious freedom through his provocative writings. Originally withheld from publication in 1802 by advice from President Thomas Jefferson, due to fears of backlash, this edition combines all three volumes of Paine's work, including the contentious, previously unreleased third volume. Published on March 1, 2014, this definitive manuscript invites adult learners and enthusiasts of historical and philosophical discourse to explore Paine’s radical arguments for deism and his critique of institutionalized religion and its practices. As readers delve into Paine's persuasive texts, they are encouraged to reflect on the historical context of religious freedom and its ongoing relevance in today's society. This edition not only sheds light on Paine's intellectual legacy but also underscores the enduring struggle for religious liberty and personal conscience.
