This is a cultural and intellectual biography of a neglected but
important figure, Thomas Morgan (1671/2-1743). Educated at
Bridgewater Academy, he was active as Presbyterian preacher,
medical practitioner, and one of the first who called himself a
Christian Deist. Morgan was not only a harbinger of the
disparagement of the Old Testament, but also a prolific pamphleteer
about things religious, and a publisher of medical books. He
received praise for his medical work, but a negative press for his
theological visions, and he ended as a forgotten figure in history;
this book restores an overlooked writer to his due place in
history. It is the first modern biography of Morgan and its
readership comprises historians of deism, the enlightenment, the
eighteenth century, theology and the church, Presbyterianism, and
medical history.
