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.
