Deist thinker Anthony Collins’ treatise on reason and free-thinking caused a theological and philosophical commotion when it was first published in 1724. Promoting reason as a valid way to determine truth, Collins criticizes all churches for not legitimatizing critical thinking. John Gill wrote The Prophecies of the Old Testament in response to Collin’s arguments. This edition features the 1724 printing.
