The Cult of the Supreme Being and the Pursuit of a Republic of Virtue in the French Revolution - Routledge Studies in Modern European History
John Whitworth
This book offers a reappraisal of Robespierre’s involvement in the Cult of the Supreme Being, which recognises him as the main actor in the introduction of this cult as the official state religion, while illustrating that its essential features were already apparent during the period of dechristianisation and the Cult of Reason.
