Locke was a founder and shaper of modern thought and society, and his principal works are among the most influential ever written. Much that he wrote is either about religion or touches on it, which is not surprising, for he lived and worked during a time of heightened religious sensibility. Subjects that today would be considered to have little or no bearing on religion were viewed by him and his contemporaries within a theological frame: the nature of knowledge and belief, the origin of ideas, the nature of language, metaphysical questions concerning substance, personal identity, the relation of mind and body, the foundation of morality, the origin of civil society, toleration. A right understanding of Locke requires that all of his opinions be viewed within this religious frame. Read together, and in context, these writings illustrate the deep and pervasive religious motivation in Locke's thought. They are key texts in intellectual history. 738162 2002 Writings on Religion total:5|5:3|4:0|3:1|2:1|1:0| 5 20 8 1 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1995 Mon Feb 18 21:24:54 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 21:27:11 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Wed Oct 28 10:45:10 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 10:45:10 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Aug 03 02:19:17 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 02:19:17 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun May 24 12:51:28 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 12:51:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 27 14:42:04 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 14:42:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Feb 01 03:37:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 03:37:00 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Thu Jan 22 08:23:55 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 08:23:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 11 13:22:09 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 13:22:11 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=316227
