Synopsis

Written after years of study and reflection on religion’s place in society, this final work sets out Paine’s deist perspective in direct opposition to revealed religion. His credo, “I believe in one God, and no more”, frames an approach that aims to be critical and objective rather than devotional.

The text examines both the Old and New Testaments, drawing attention to what it presents as numerous contradictions. With its emphasis on history, it is suited to readers interested in religious debate and the scrutiny of scripture.
