This Is A New Release Of The Original 1677 Edition.

1677. This work is "matter full" and suggestive rather than exhaustive. It contains clear and keen insight into the deepest places of the deepest things discussed. It is full of faith in all written in the Word and pathetically credulous in accepting testimony when an alleged fact is fitted to barb an appeal. It is pre-Raphaelite in the vivid fidelity of its portrayals of satanic guiles and guises that are always disguises, and above all, tenderly experimental in its consolation to the tried and troubled.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
