Author Information

Thomas Paine was a writer who applied his skills to humanitarian causes. He was instrumental in fanning the flame of American colonial revolution with his pamphlet, Common Sense, which hit the press just weeks before the Declaration of Independence. When the French Revolution broke out, Paine was on the spot with his acrid pen castigating royalists and aristocrats in Rights of Man. His basic radical pitch was that no government can be legitimate that does not represent the express interests of the people. He backed up his idealism with suggestions for humanitarian reform, and he stood on the world stage as a champion of the liberation of all people. Doug Good is a teacher who began paraphrasing classic books to encourage his history students to enter the trenches of the past through tighter, yet complete versions of books written by the makers of history (a device that increases the chances the students will actually do the assigned reading.) Good has graduate degrees in history (University of Oregon) and religion (Fuller Seminary), with doctoral candidate status from Claremont Graduate University.
