The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

A Memorial Concerning Personal and Family Fasting and Humiliation Reviews
-
Boston has a very one sided view of fasting which associates it only with confession of sin. He sees the physical work of fasting as inducing a state of humiliation in the practitioner. The work deals primarily with ways to confess your sin at length and deals little with the meaning of abstention from food or kinds of fasting which might not be oriented towards confessing sin. Additionally, as he only sees one kind of fasting in scripture he is willing to use every passage on fasting to undergird this one kind of fast and also to use passages on confession as contributing to his understanding of fasting.
