Deism

A Revolution in Religion, a Revolution in You

By: Bob Johnson

Narrated by: Scott Ellis

Deism is a natural and rational bridge that unites our reason to our belief in God. It propels us from the false and destructive ancient myths of the "revealed" religions to a space-age belief system that is in line with our God-given reason.

This audiobook, made in a concise and cogent style, introduces the listener to Deism, a way of life that is free of the old conflicts between reason and religion. The removal of these conflicts allows us to enjoy and appreciate a much more profound and satisfying belief in nature's God while helping us to live a more productive and meaningful life.

when you're right, you don't have to be rude

The author is actually horribly misinformed about some hiatoric facts. Nobody questions of Jesus the person existed. For someone who is supposed to be reasonable and fact based, this was a book completely about what he thinks and feels. I expected more.

Wonderful alternative to the Catholic religion!

Great information, insightful and very well read! Wonderful book especially now with all the nones. Well worth the price!

Great book about Deism

This is an excellent book about Deism. I really enjoyed it! if you are interested in learning about this topic I highly recommend that you purchase this book!

The Author misses the whole point.

The book opens well, offering a clear introduction to the history and basic premises of Deism. That portion is accessible and worthwhile.

However, it quickly devolves into a shallow polemic against Judaism and Christianity. Instead of explaining what Deism is for, the author seems more interested in scoring rhetorical points by caricaturing other traditions.

The treatment of Judaism is particularly banal and uninformed. Judaism is repeatedly approached as if it were merely a set of theological claims to be dismantled, rather than a living people, legal tradition, and continuous civilization. The author’s comments on Israel and the Jewish connection to the land are not only incorrect, but dismissive in a way that undermines his claim to rational seriousness.

Deism does not require the trivialization of other traditions to stand on its own. Its real strength lies in providing a rational, natural-law framework for belief and coexistence. This book would have been far stronger had it shown the philosophical restraint Deism itself recommends.
