In just a couple of weeks you will be able to purchase our new book, Deist: So that's what I am! This is an exciting time to be a Deist. I have had the honor to be editor and contributing author for the new book, which is the product of the Contemporary Deism Project (CDP). The CDP represents 13 of the best-known names in contemporary Deism: Bob Johnson of the World Union of Deists; the Rev. Keith Wright of the United Deist Church (as well as friend and fellow Beliefnet member); John Lindell, the father of contemporary Christian Deism; Steve Zinn, longtime member of the Deist Alliance and promoter of Deism; Harold Langford of the Spiritual-Deism group on Yahoo!; Jason S. Aaron, longtime Deist and key member of Panendeism.org; Dave Gaddis, founder of iDeism.com and fellow Deist Alliance member, as well as fellow Beliefnet member; Brad Topp-Lowe, a spiritual seeker from Victoria, Australia; the Rev. Shaun K. Hunter of the Lykos Temple; John Caseler, artist and administrator of DeistPoet.com; John Earwood, philosopher and proponent of Deism; and Robert Reno, Jr., long-time Deist, supporter, fellow Beliefnet member and author of The Paradox of Nothingness: The Case for the New Deism, which he has donated in its entirety as a bonus book for this edition of Deist.

I hope you have half as much fun reading it as we had putting it together. I think you will find it an enlightening view of Freethought and contemporary Deism.
