Description
The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. In Optimism Benjamin Paul Blood wrote probably his greatest philosphical work. First published in 1860 this book describes how to attain peace of mind through spirituality, in this case a thoroughly American deist spirituality, rooted in Christianity and highly sophisticated.
The language used is difficult by modern standards, but at times poetic and capable of lifting the reader out of their own world and into Blood's. As he grapples with religious doctrine the intelligence of the author shines through and he is sure to surprise you with some of the conclusions he draws.
