The Theophilanthropist, Issues 1-9
The Theophilanthropist was a journal published during the late 1790s in support of the Theophilanthropic movement, a deistic religion founded in France during the French Revolution. Issues 1-9 offer a fascinating glimpse into this short-lived but influential religious experiment. Rooted in Enlightenment ideals, Theophilanthropy sought to replace traditional Christianity with a rational, naturalistic faith emphasizing morality and civic virtue.
This collection provides invaluable primary source material for scholars and anyone interested in the religious and intellectual history of the French Revolution. It reveals the hopes and aspirations of those who sought to build a new society based on reason and humanism, and it sheds light on the complex interplay between religion, politics, and culture in a time of profound social upheaval. This provides insight into a pivotal moment in the development of modern religious thought.
