The writers known as the English deists were not simply religious controversialists, but agents of reform who contributed to the emergence of modernity. This title claims that these writers advocated a failed ideology which itself declined after 1730. It argues for an evolution of their ideas into a more modern form.
'an important contribution to our understanding of not only deism but also the religious climate of eighteenth-century England ... essential reading.' English Historical Review 'Hudson's book (and his first volume [The English Deists]) should be seen as essnetial reading for those concerned with placing England's deists into the British Enlightenment.'
