THE AGE OF REASON AND
REVIVAL
Group 7: presentation
REASON AND REVIVAL;
; Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology is a work by
English and American political activist Thomas Paine, arguing for the
philosophical position of deism. It follows in the tradition of 18thcentury British deism, and challenges institutionalized religion and
the legitimacy of the Bible. It was published in three parts in 1794,
1795, and 1807.
This chapter highlights the three phases of revival:
intellect, emotion, and will. With the first phrase,
Nehemiah 8:1–8 emphasizes four ingredients.
Verse 1 mentions the role of gathering. As much as
we love to watch sermons in our sleepwear at
home, it is a powerful time when God's people
gather together.
WHAT IS THE AGE OF REASON AND REVIVAL?
The Enlightenment, or the Age of Reason, was an intellectual and
cultural movement in the eighteenth century that emphasized
reason over superstition and science over blind faith.
WHAT IS THE CONCEPT OF
REVIVAL?
What Does "Revival" Mean? The word revival combines two
Latin words, “vivo,” meaning to live, and “re” meaning again. It's
like a rebirth or a re-awakening, an invigorating experience
where the Holy Spirit moves freely among believers, setting their
hearts on fire for the Lord.
WHAT IS THE CONCLUSION OF THE AGE OF
REASON?
In conclusion, The Age of Reason is Thomas Paine's plea
for a more rational approach to God and divinity. Instead
of blindly following organized religion and their derived
texts, Paine urges us to rely on reason, observation, and
experience to understand God.

CHRISTIANITY?
Why is revival important to Christianity?
Revival brings new life, joy, effectiveness.
Revival is in our best interest. It leads us to the fruit of the
Spirit and the joy and peace that come with walking with the
Lord. Though revival can start with pain, it leads to healing and
purpose. Many Christians have come to see the Christian life as
drudgery.
The Age of Reason and Revival (1648–1789)
Novel schools of thought filled the seventeenth century. None was
more powerful than Reason itself. It asked, “Who needs God? Man
can make it on his own.” Christians screamed their objections, but
the idea spread until secularism filled the public life of western
societies.
The Age of Reason, also known as The Enlightenment, refers to
an epoch that succeeded the Renaissance and Protestant
Reformations, and preceded the Romantic, Modernist, and
Post-Modern movements. It is typically considered to have
spanned the 17th and 18th centuries.
Who ended the Age of Enlightenment?
the French Revolution of
As to its end, most scholars use the last years of the century, often
choosing the French Revolution of 1789 or the beginning of the
Napoleonic Wars (1804–15) to date the end of the Enlightenment.
