Orr, John.English Deism: Its Roots and Its Fruits (неопр.). — Eerdmans[англ.], 1934. «Prior to the 17th Century the terms [„deism“ and „deist“] were used interchangeably with the terms „theism“ and „theist“, respectively. .. Theologians and philosophers of the 17th Century began to give a different signification to the words. .. Both [theists and deists] asserted belief in one supreme God, the Creator. ..
