{"product_id":"9781350250055","title":"Finding Locke's God : The Theological Basis of John Locke's Political Thought","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe portrait of John Locke as a secular advocate of Enlightenment rationality has been deconstructed by the recent ‘religious turn’ in Locke scholarship. This book takes an important next step: moving beyond the ‘religious turn’ and establishing a ‘theological turn’, Nathan Guy argues that John Locke ought to be viewed as a Christian political philosopher whose political theory was firmly rooted in the moderating Latitudinarian theology of the seventeenth-century. Nestled between the secular political philosopher and the Christian public theologian stands Locke, the Christian political philosopher, whose arguments not only self-consciously depend upon Christian assumptions, but also offer a decidedly Christian theory of government. Finding Locke’s God identifies three theological pillars crucial to Locke’s political theory: (1) a biblical depiction of God, (2) the law of nature rooted in a doctrine of creation and (3) acceptance of divine revelation in scripture. As a result, Locke’s political philosophy brings forth theologically-rich aims, while seeking to counter or disarm threats such as atheism, hyper-Calvinism, and religious enthusiasm. Bringing these items together, Nathan Guy demonstrates how each pillar supports Locke’s Latitudinarian political philosophy and provides a better understanding of how he grounds his notions of freedom, equality and religious toleration. Convincingly argued and meticulously researched, this book offers an exciting new direction for Locke studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52581860802871,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":243.53,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781350250055-1.jpg?v=1783191304","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781350250055","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
