John Leland (1691-1766) was a non-conformist minister and wrote many books. In this book he attacks the deists (deisten). Deism is the idea that it is possible to know the existence of God using reason alone. According to this view, revelation plays no role in the knowledge of God. The term is also related to the idea that God created the universe and then disappeared. The universe was left to its own laws.
