Opis

This is the first major critical edition of Locke's 1695 enquiry into the foundations of Christianity. Locke maintains that the essentials of the faith, few and simple, can be found by anyone for themselves in the Scripture, and that this provides a basis for tolerant agreement among Christians. An authoritative text is accompanied by abundant information conducive to an understanding of Locke's religious thought.

Recenzje

In his 89-page introduction, John Higgins-Biddle places the work in the context of Locke's philosophy and political theory and evaluates the opinions of those who have interpreted Locke as a Diest, as a Socinian or a Unitarian, or as a Hobbist.
