The Age Of Reason

4.12 of 5 stars 4.12 · rating details · 2,715 ratings · 188 reviews

The Age of Reason represents the results of years of study and reflection by Thomas Paine on the place of religion in society.

Paine wrote: "Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst; every other species of tyranny is limited to the world we live in; but this attempts to stride beyond the grave, and seeks to pursue us into eternity."

"It has happened, that all the answers that I have seen to the former part of 'The Age of Reason' have been written by priests: and these
pious men, like their predecessors, contend and wrangle, and
understand the Bible; each understands it differently, but each
understands it best; and they have agreed in nothing but in telling
their readers that Thomas Paine understands it not."

Thomas Paine plays the ace and brings the house of cards down: the wizard behind the curtain is dead, the emperor has no clothes.

Don’t be mistaken, this would be shocking if it were written today. But no, incredibly, this was the eighteenth century, before modern scholarship, in the depths of scientific anthropocentrism and Biblical literalism. “If only,” 200 years later, with what we now know— but here’s America, trying to write Thomas Paine out of history books and cover up the trace.

I was glad to read this book, finally, but I was rather underwhelmed by it. In so many ways it was so out of date as regards contemporary biblical scholarship that especially the second part was of little value.

I was surprised to learn that Paine was not an atheist nor an agnostic but was a deist with a strong belief in God as Creator and the Creation as the "Bible."

Kind of like running up the score after the outcome of the game is no longer in doubt. Sure the fans might love it but sometimes you've got to know when to call off the dogs.)

Part II seems to be more of a ridiculing of certain aspects of the Old and New Testaments, and I’m not very educated in those books. Anyway, in his book, Thomas Paine sets forth what he thinks about organized religion. He professes at the beginning,”I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life.” That’s all well and good, but at no time during my reading of this book, based on his reasoning, did I ever find a reasoning for him to believe in God or for believing in an afterlife. The closest he came, I believe, was when he talked about our surroundings here on Earth. Maybe I missed something else.

The book is a pretty compelling read though. He argues that you can’t have an actual revelation of God from the mouths or writings of someone that had the original revelation. He is right when you look at the theological definition of revelation:

"God’s disclosure of Himself and His will to His creatures."

It could be argued that there are other definitions listed there, such as the one that says, “something that contains such disclosure, as the Bible,” but by the way he writes, I am under the assumption that his was the most accepted use of the term in his time. I have yet to read any rebuttal arguments to his book, so I may stand corrected on that.

He makes a number of different arguments against churches and the Bible itself. From comparing older mythologies to events in the Bible, to saying that words have been changed to mean different things, such as prophet is meant as poet. I don’t know enough about words of the past to know if this has any truth to it.

He goes on to say that the Word of God does exist, but that it isn’t spoken from man-to-man. Rather, the Word of God is all around us; creation. He saw the study of creation, that of science, as being the “true theology” that should be sought after. While reading this, I found it interesting that at the time, they knew only of the planets up to Saturn, and Paine himself talks about how other worlds in our system probably have inhabitants on them. We certainly have come a long way since those days!

There are other details that he touches on, quite a few actually, but I don’t want to sit here and spoil the entire thing for anyone. It has also been about a month or so since I read it, and I wanted to jot down the main things I got out of it before I forget! It’s a good read, and it’s not even very long. I just wanted to point out some of the things that he discusses so people can decide if it would be something they were interested in reading. I think anyone can benefit from reading this, religious or not. Those that are more learned on this subject could probably find debatable topics for either side (religious/not religious), and that’s always a good thing!(less)

Thomas Paine was ostracized for his views on and ridicule of Christianty, something that remained the case until his death in 1809. This superb book is most definitely the cornerstone of those polemics and represents one of the most convincing, penetrating and passionate arguments against religious tyranny that I have ever had the joy of reading.

It is easy to see why he was so revered by the late, great anti-theist Christopher Hitchens and is still admired by authors such as Dawkins and Harris....more

Paine's point-by-point refutation of the Christian bible in two parts. Part I debunks the notion of an "inspired" word via miracle, revelation, and prophecy, all of which must be taken on faith, not in God, but in the person to whom the miracle, revelation, or prophecy is revealed. The problem is this: a miracle, more often than not, is simply an act of nature either misunderstood or not understood.

But he is not saying he is the only one who is right, and worshipers of other religions are blind or stupid. No, he respects the fact that other views and believes are no lesser than his own.

Thomas Paine was a hilarious man.

He was witty and (for the most part) rational, hence the title of the book. He said things that I've said to myself time and time again, and the latter half of the book is dedicated to going through the Old and New Testaments of the Bible and basically debunking them. I would have liked him to go into a bit more detail or touch base with a few more aspects of the Bible (such as the ten commandments), but overall I thoroughly enjoyed this.

There is a difference between whether the point Paine is trying to make is well argued and well written (which it is), whether I enjoyed reading it (mostly), and whether I would encourage others to read it (strongly encouraged).

The arguments that Paine mounts against Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) are that:
- Revelation can only be experienced individually, and therefor indicating that the Bible is the word of God via revelation is not true.
- God does not act with mystery and miracle, but instead in universal truths.
- The books of the Bible (both old and new testament) are self-conflicting, of dubious authorship, and thus not the word of God.

The pamphlet is written in two parts and at two different times. In the first part Paine indicates his own philosophy, and is written without reference to specific passages of the Bible. The second part is a rebuttal of each book of both the new and old testament. I would highly encourage anyone to read the first part, but skip the second unless you have a really high interest in reading more on his argument. I found the second part to be, while informative, very dull.

I identify myself as a Christian, and it was difficult at times to read this book objectively. There were a couple of things that helped me with this. First, Paine is not an Atheist but instead a Deist. He believes in a singular God, just not a God as described in the Bible, which means he isn't completely rejecting my own religious beliefs. Second, while Paine does not believe Jesus Christ to be the son of God, he does have a tremendous amount of respect for the words attributed to Jesus Christ. He saw in Jesus a kindred revolutionary. Third, I tried to read Paine in the voice of Michael Palin. For some reason, considering him as a member of the Monty Python troop made it easier to get through and see the sarcasm in some of his remarks.

Overall I felt The Age of Reason does a sound job of pointing out inconsistencies in the Bible, as well as identifying acts of God that seem, well, un-Godly. I think his argument is weakened some in the second part, especially when identifying areas of inconsistency within the books of the Bible. He points out such errors as disagreement among the sums of total people within a family. He indicates this as reason enough to say that, as the two chapters disagree, both must be false. I'm willing to forgive such errors and inconsistencies due to both the time when they were written and discrepancies in witness stories we hear even today. I mean, ask two people what my eye color is and one might say green and another brown. The disagreement doesn't indicate that I don't exist, just a subjective difference in observation.

I think the Age of Reason is an incredibly important pamphlet for all Americans to read, regardless of religious views. Paine was one of the founding father's of the United States, and his pamphlet "Common Sense" helped spur the start of the revolution. As we make arguments on how the US should be governed, it is important to have a good understanding of the views of those who created this nation, and the types of governance they wish to both promote and prevent.(less)

When it comes to the Bible, Thomas Paine is a cynic. Page after page, the author demeans the merit of the Bible by using logic, reason and science. He does this by not using any outside references, but by compiling "facts" from the Holy Book itself to show that the stories and people in the Bible are merely fables.

Could it be they do not understand faith because they do not have it?

In this case, Thomas Paine maintains that men are free to believe what they choose, but at the same moment undertakes to castigate the religions of the world as nothing more than smoke and mirrors, therefore rendering their adherents as mere pawns willing to subject themselves to grandiose hoodwinking. He takes the position there is no mystery, there are no miracles, and prophecy is nothing more than lies. And the reader is meant to accept it upon his word. Because he prefers the approach of Doubting Thomas to that of the believing apostles in the New Testament, Paine elevates himself as a [pre-Nietzschean] Übermensch deserving of proof before he will believe. However, the false-until-proven-true posture (guilty until proven innocent?) throughout history has simply left many in the dark disbelieving many things that yet are true. If I have never been to London myself, does that mean that it does not exist? Am I to disbelieve the accounts of others and all evidence to the contrary merely because I have not experienced London in person?* Truth does not depend upon proof to the limited mind. And worshiping at the altar of Reason merely limits one's knowledge of truth to those things that his confined mind can grasp only if and when he chooses given his limitations. But that certainly is his prerogative.

This is not meant to be a rebuttal to Paine's assertions. That would be little more than a stab at the age-old debate between faith and unfaith, something that cannot be resolved in a book review. I will say that this felt like reading very eloquent arguments by a stubborn teenager who believes that adults know nothing, and that his own views are superior in spite of inconsistencies and contradictions in his own reasoning (e.g., Paine declares that Jesus spoke only Hebrew and therefore could not communicate far and wide in the world. However, most scholars agree that he also spoke Aramaic and some Greek, therefore enabling him to converse with many more in the known world than simply the Hebrews in and around Jerusalem). Furthermore, assuming that someone who proclaims to be the Son of God would be limited to communicating in his native languages is nothing more than a denial of who he says he is -- one who surely could impart his message through supernatural means.

This book did nothing to change my own mind on matters of faith, but it did provide an insightful view into the Deism prominent among some Founding Fathers. Their time was one of confusion in reconciling beliefs in God with the abuses of organized religion in the societies immediately preceding the newly formed America. Far from providing support for the contentions of some that The Age of Reason undermines the notion that America was founded as a Christian nation (Paine was largely ostracized among American leaders for his views), I believe it offers a glimpse into the thinking at the time when many Founders were in search of something from God more concrete and authoritative, which this country's laws ultimately were designed to foster.
