I want to know the answer to the following question:
What writing was considered a bridge between two other major writings?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Davies identifies Paine's The Age of Reason as "the link between the two major narratives of what Jean-François Lyotard calls the narrative of legitimation": the rationalism of the 18th-century Philosophes and the radical, historically based German 19th-century Biblical criticism of the Hegelians David Friedrich Strauss and Ludwig Feuerbach.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
