Deism
Join Richard Serjeantson, a Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge, and Katie East, a Lecturer at Newcastle University, as they dive into the world of deism. They discuss Lord Herbert of Cherbury's five religious truths and how he became known as the Father of Deism. The conversation explores the challenges deists faced from traditional religious authorities and the clever use of irony in their writings. The cultural impact of print and public discourse, along with the tensions between reason and revelation, also take center stage in this fascinating exploration.
