FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description John Lockes religious interests and concerns permeate his philosophical production and are best expressed in his later writings on religion, which represent the culmination of his studies. In this volume, Diego Lucci offers a thorough analysis and reassessment of Lockes unique, heterodox, internally coherent version of Protestant Christianity, which emerges from The Reasonableness of Christianity and other public as well as private texts. In order to clarify Lockes views on morality, salvation, and the afterlife, Lucci critically examines Lockes theistic ethics, biblical hermeneutics, reflection on natural and revealed law, mortalism, theory of personal identity, Christology, and tolerationism. While emphasizing the originality of Lockes scripture-based religion, this book calls attention to his influences and explores the reception of his unorthodox theological ideas. Moreover, the book highlights the impact of Lockes natural and biblical theology on other areas of his thought, thus enabling a better understanding of the unity of his work. Author Biography Diego Lucci is Professor of Philosophy and History at the American University in Bulgaria. Among his publications are the monograph Scripture and Deism (2008) and the co-edited volume Atheism and Deism Revalued (with Wayne Hudson and Jeffrey R. Wigelsworth, 2014).

Review Luccis book is the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of Lockes religious thought and writings. It is a masterly account that in many ways has mastered Locke. Peter Anstey, University of SydneyMany books have asserted the importance for Locke of his Christian convictions. Now at last we have a comprehensive and authoritative reconstruction of Lockes theology. Embedded as deeply in the archive as in Lockes published works, Diego Luccis book is a model of exposition and interpretation. Mark Goldie, University of CambridgeAfter reading this book, one would no longer think of John Locke merely as a precursor of secular political theory or Enlightenment epistemology. Diego Lucci has convincingly demonstrated how Locke needs to be situated within the context of early modern English and European philosophical and theological debates surrounding the human self, divine saviour, and society. Paul Lim, Vanderbilt UniversityJohn Lockes Christianity is an impressive scholarly work that locates important historical and theological distinctions within 17th century Christianity and uses these distinctions, as well as Lockes own religious writings, to make a strong textual and contextual case that Lockes Christianity was both unique and sheds light on theological complexities inherent in epistemological, metaphysical, moral, and political aspects of his thinking. This remarkably detailed work occupies an otherwise unfilled and welcome place in Locke studies. Shelley Weinberg, University of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignThrough a careful study of the relevant publications and manuscripts, in this admirable book Diego Lucci both presents a reconstruction of John Lockes biblical Christianity and makes a compelling case for its importance to understanding his moral, philosophical and political thought. Lucci not only establishes the importance of theology to Locke, but demonstrates that it helped bind together his various intellectual endeavours. Stephen Snobelen, University of Kings CollegeLuccis conclusion is an incisive intellectual history of Lockean scholarship, especially regarding Lockes placement in the narrative of the origins and triumph of the secular Enlightenment … Recommended.
