Created in 2009, New Deism Press seeks to engage, challenge, and inspire readers with books promoting a sensibility of religious responsibility within the context of contemporary Deism.

The following excerpts from Born-Again Deist by Beth Houston summarize the core tenets of New Deism promoted by our press:

“New Deism—which is a theology of God and only God—holds as its fundamental tenets (beliefs) that God exists; that God is one; that God is Creator; that God is both transcendent and immanent in creation; that God is all-knowing, omniscient, and omnipotent; that God is good; that God is just; that God transcends the limits of human knowledge, goodness, and justice; that God spiritually engages with human individuals; and that no human or text or material or immaterial object is God or embodies God or fully or accurately represents God.”

“De-ism—de from deus, meaning God—is centered in God, and only God, whether the focus be on theory or practice or a fusion of both. The defining tenet of God-ism is that the scope and elegance of Creation—both as noun and verb—necessitates a Creator that transcends that Creation.”
