God & Human Beings
In this little-known work by Voltaire (1694-1778)-now available in English for the first time- the famous French philosophe and satirist presents a wide-ranging and acerbic survey of religion throughout the world. Voltaire called himself a deist and thus he professed belief in a supreme deity. Written toward the end of his life in 1769, the work was penned in the same decade as some of his more famous works-the Philosophical Dictionary, Questions on Miracles, and Lord Bolingbroke's Important Examination-all of which questioned the basic tenets of Christianity.
Both his deism and his critical attitude toward Christianity are manifest in God and Human Beings, which is, in effect, one of the first works of comparative religion. But he was always sharply critical of institutional Christianity, especially its superstitions, the hypocrisy of its clergy, and its abuse of political power.
