The Church And The Age Of Reason 1648-1789

he Church and the Age of Reason 1648–1789 (1970) by G.R. Cragg – Pelican Original
Sold with reverent irreverence by Crappy Old Books.

Step into the turbulent Enlightenment era, where bishops battled reason, philosophers sharpened their pens, and God had to compete with Newton. In The Church and the Age of Reason, G.R. Cragg deftly unpicks the uneasy dance between faith and rationalism across Europe from the Peace of Westphalia to the French Revolution. It’s thoughtful, thorough, and not without its dry Anglican wit.

This 1970 Pelican paperback edition has the usual battle scars: yellowed pages, a cracked spine, and that musty scent of vintage dissent. It may not convert you, but it’ll certainly enlighten you—unless you leave it on the radiator, in which case it might combust into divine fire.

Crappy Old Books – Because the Age of Reason deserves a little disorder.

Nice neat condition.
