This is the first complete study of English deists as a group in
several decades and it argues for a new interpretation of deism in
the English Enlightenment. While there have been many recent
studies of the deist John Toland, the writings of other
contemporary deists have been forgotten. With extensive analysis of
lesser known figures such as Anthony Collins, Matthew Tindal,
Thomas Chub, and Thomas Morgan, in addition to unique insights into
Toland, Deism in Enlightenment England offers a much broader
assessment of what deism entailed in the eighteenth century.
Readers will see how previous interpretations of English deists,
which place these figures on an irreligious trajectory leading
towards modernity, need to be revised. This book uses deists to
address a number of topics and themes and theme in English history
and will be of particular interest to scholars of Enlightenment
history, history of science, theology and politics, and the early
modern era. -- .
