This complete study of English deists as a group argues for a new interpretation of deism in the English Enlightenment. With extensive analysis of less known figures such as Anthony Collins, Matthew Tindal, Thomas Chubb, and Thomas Morgan, it offers a broader assessment of what deism entitled in the 18th century.
