Book Description:

In intellectual and political culture, the Enlightenment is routinely celebrated as the starting point of modernity and secular rationalism, or demonized as the source of a godless liberalism in conflict with religious faith. This book intends to alter our understanding by showing that the Enlightenment, at its heart, was religious in nature.
