Bringing together the works of six major American deists--Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Ethan Allen, Thomas Paine, Elihu Palmer, and Philip Freneau--and the Frenchman Comte de Volney, whose writings greatly influenced American deists, Walters has created the fullest analysis yet of the deism and rational religion in colonial and early America.
