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 own: 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. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

This book invites you to meditate on God's word in the presence of Jesus and all His loving kindness. The meditations are experiential in nature, bringing to life the richness of imagery found throughout the Bible. You will be gently guided to be still and relax as you are immersed in the beauty and majesty of scripture, allowing God's word to come alive within you. You will experience the still waters, lie in the green pastures and walk in the light of Jesus' presence. You will be encouraged to look to Jesus in all His ways so that you may be transformed into His likeness. Scriptural excerpts woven seamlessly into the entire meditative process reinforce God's truth, and help open your heart so that the Holy Spirit may flow from deep within you. Let these meditations sow the seed for Jesus' peace, healing and righteous desires to unfold in your life into abounding thankfulness in the Lord.
