God, Locke, and Liberty: The Struggle for Religious Freedom in the West

by Joseph Loconte

Book Overview

God, Locke, and Liberty argues that John Locke based his most famous defense of religious freedom on a radical reinterpretation of the life and teachings of Jesus. In a fresh and provocative analysis of Locke's A Letter Concerning Toleration, this new intellectual history examines the importance of the spiritual reform movement known as Christian humanism to Locke's bracing vision of a tolerant and pluralistic society.
