This collection presents the complete works of the Reverend Philip Skelton, a prominent religious figure of the 18th century, including his influential work, "Ophiomaches: Or, Deism Revealed."

Edited with care by Samuel Burdy and Robt Lynam, this edition preserves the original texts while making them accessible to modern readers.

Skelton's deep engagement with philosophical and theological questions makes this collection essential for scholars of religious history, theology, and the Enlightenment era. This edition allows readers to explore Skelton's complete body of work and understand the intellectual and spiritual climate of 18th-century Ireland.
