Review # 1 was written on 2018-03-07 00:00:00 Deborah Wilson This is a GREAT little book. Nothing superfluous. Philp firstly takes us through Paine's amazing life in which he got caught up in both the American and French Revolutions, practically initiating the American one through his writings in COMMONSENSE and in France defending the life of the King and consequently almost losing his head to the guillotine with the Jacobin faction who had similar opinions. A man of principle in the face of Death itself, scribbling away in prison at his book The Age of Reason which told the truth about the Bible and the Christian Error.Like many men of the Enlightenment he was a Deist, although the Americans accused him of being an atheist.(The Americans have had a really bad run with religion as religion has had with them. A Bad Mix.) MORE TO COME....
