Deism vs Christianity: Locke, Jefferson, Hume, & the Watchmaker God | Church History 122
This episode explores the rise of Deism in 18th-century England through figures like John Locke, Lord Herbert of Cherbury, John Toland, and David Hume, along with its influence on thinkers such as Jefferson, Franklin, and Paine. As Deism challenged Scripture, miracles, and revelation, Christian responses emerged through apologists like Jacques Abbadie and leaders like John Wesley and Thomas Reid. We also trace the wider context of Montesquieu, Edmund Burke, and the evangelical revivals of George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards, examining how revival and apologetics combined to answer Deism and reshape the religious landscape of Britain and beyond.

Kant and Hume: When Reason Undermined Itself | Church History 121
This episode revisits the Enlightenment through figures like David Hume, Thomas Reid, Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Immanuel Kant. As Hume’s skepticism challenged reason, Reid responded with common sense realism, while Rousseau and Montesquieu reshaped society and government. With Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason, the crisis deepened—reshaping theology and paving the way for thinkers like Friedrich Schleiermacher and modern liberal theology. Join us as we examine how these ideas built the modern world and challenged the foundations of Christian truth. Let us know in the comments!
