About This Book

The author offers a critical chronological survey in eight lectures of how independent inquiry challenged Christianity, examining pagan literary objections, medieval and Renaissance currents, and the rise of modern movements such as English Deism, eighteenth-century French infidelity, and evolving German theological skepticism through the nineteenth century, culminating in contemporary English free thought. The work defines free thought, distinguishes it from Protestantism, analyzes intellectual and moral causes commonly advanced to explain unbelief, and closes with reflections on perceived dangers and duties for religious and public life.
