Review
`The collection is intended to be, and undoubtedly will be, of use to philosophers, theologians and intellectual historians. . . . Moreover, the interest of the book is not restricted to religion and theology, but extends to general, metaphysical questions.' Thomas Lennon, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
`[The] wonderful, forty-two page introduction . . . is in many respects a model of its kind. Clearly and elegantly, it argues the case for the centrality of religion and theology to Locke's thought, and introduces each of the seven sections in turn, with helpful discussion in footnotes of the relevant bibliography of both primary and secondary sources. Throughout, Locke is depicted as representing an enlightened and universalistic version of Christianity, as opposed to the dogmatism of Rome and Geneva. . . . there is an irresistible civility and decency that carries over from Locke into the introduction that will charm readers of every persuasion. Nor is its charm the introduction's only virtue; it is patently very competent in every respect.' Thomas Lennon, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
