Sinopsis

Unbelief in the Eighteenth Century as Contrasted with Its Earlier and Later History is a book written by John Cairns that explores the development of unbelief in the 18th century and how it differed from earlier and later periods. The book delves into the cultural, social, and intellectual factors that contributed to the rise of skepticism and atheism during this time, including the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the Industrial Revolution. Cairns also examines the religious and philosophical responses to unbelief, including the rise of evangelicalism and the emergence of new religious movements. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of unbelief and its impact on society, making it a valuable resource for students of history, religion, and philosophy.Being The Cunningham Lectures For 1880.

It Covers English Deism, The Encyclopedists In France, Rationalism In Germany And Strauss, Renan And J. S. Mill In The 19th Century And Reads As One Rather Sympathetic With Unbelief And Freethought. This Is Not A Religious Polemic And Was Certainly Noticed By Gordon Stein In His God Pro And Con Bibliography Of Atheism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
