"A Philosophical Dictionary, Volume 03" by Voltaire is an encyclopedic dictionary published in 1764. This alphabetically arranged work criticizes the Roman Catholic Church, Judaism, Islam, and other institutions through pointed essays. First released anonymously as a portable, affordable text, it was designed to fit in one's pocket and reach a wide audience. The dictionary represents Voltaire's culminating views on Christianity, God, morality, and tolerance, championing deism and freedom of the press while challenging religious intolerance and fanaticism that marked his era.
