Excerpt from The Autobiography and Ministerial Life of the Rev. John Johnston, D. D Tm: late Rev. Dr. A. Alexander a man full of good deeds, proposed at the Board of Trustees of the College of New Jersey, that a blank book be provided, and that a brief notice of Graduates of the College be recorded there in. This proposition was adopted, and the book was com mitted to the mover of the resolution, and be filled one hundred and ten large folio pages with notices of different Alumni of the College, chiefly from his own knowledge. After the decease of Dr. Alexander, this book was placed in the hands of the subscriber, with a request that the notices be continued.

Challenging carved-in-stone tenets of Christianity, deism began sprouting in colonial America in the early eighteenth century, was flourishing nicely by the American Revolution, and for all intents and purposes was dead by 1811. Despite its hasty demise, deism left a theological legacy. Christian sensibility would never be quite the same. Bringing together the works of six major American deists—Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Ethan Allen, Thomas Paine, Elihu Palmer, and Philip Frenau—an dthe Frechman Comte de Volney, whose writings greatly influenced the American deists, Kerry Walters has created the fullest analysis yet of deism and rational religion in colonial and early America. In addition to presenting a chronological collection of several works by each author, he provides a description of deism’s historical roots, its major themes, its social and political implications, and the reasons for its eventual demise as a movement. Essential readings from the three major deistic periodicals of the period—Temple of Reason, Prospect, and the Theophilanthropist—also are included in the volume. This is the first time they have been reprinted since their original publication. American deism is more than merely an antiquated philosophical position possessing only historical interest, Walters contends. Its search for a religion based upon the ideals of reason, nature, and humanitarianism, rather than the blind faith, scriptural inerrancy, and miracles preached by Christian churches at the time, continues to offer insight of real significance.
