John Locke's Theology

John Locke was one of history's greatest polymaths. In addition to writing books on philosophy and political science, he also wrote theological books. His best-known theological work is The Reasonableness of Christianity, a book credited as being a window into the theological thoughts of John Locke. Scholars have made arguments from the book about why Locke is partial to a particular sect or an admixture of a couple of them. This book argues, however, that scholars have not recognized that Locke's book was not intended to be a promulgation of his personal theology, but rather a program that most professed Christians could agree upon, particularly in the areas of eternal salvation and divine revelation.
