The Radical Rhetoric of the English Deists: The Discourse of Skepticism, 1680-1750
Abstract
Focusing on the works of lesser-known yet influential Deists, the author examines the 70-year polemic between the Church of England and the English Deists, illuminating the rhetorical war which raged between them. He contends that Deism owes its significance to these skilled controversialists.
