Compare A History Of Atheism In Britain by David Berman, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Probably no doctrine has excited as much horror and abuse as atheism. This first history of British atheism, first published in 1987, tries to explain this reaction while exhibiting the development of atheism from Hobbes to Russell. Although avowed atheism appeared surprisingly late - 1782 in Britain - there were covert atheists in the middle seventeenth century. By tracing its development from so early a date, Dr Berman gives an account of an important and fascinating strand of intellectual history. | A History Of Atheism In Britain by David Berman, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
