The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

I've been reading a little Latin with my son, who's going into Latin III next year. Today we did the New Testament for the first time—the Parable of the Prodigal Son. I gave him my new edition and grabbed an old one I had lying around. We started reading and EVERY THIRD WORD WAS DIFFERENT!

Turns out my edition—picked up from some used bookstore for $5—is actually a RETRANSLATION from the Greek by Theodore Beza, a prominent 16c Calvinist.

Huh!

Suet624 Wow! This reminds me of the book I'm reading. The tagged book by Christopher Moore. Biff, the childhood friend of Jesus, returns to life. He's in a hotel room checking out the Bible and he keeps commenting on how different it is from what he remembers from his time with Jesus. 2y
