THE AGE OF REASON

Paine's exploration of religion in society critiques institutionalized beliefs and the authority of the Bible. Through engaging and irreverent prose, he makes deism accessible to a broader audience, moving beyond the educated elite. Originally released as affordable pamphlets, the work aimed to reach a wide readership, stirring concern among religious authorities about its potential influence. This thoughtful examination invites readers to reconsider the role of faith and reason in their lives.
