Book Synopsis John Locke and the Eighteenth-Century Divines by : Alan P.F. Sell
Download or read book John Locke and the Eighteenth-Century Divines written by Alan P.F. Sell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Where Christian apologetics are concerned, is Locke to be endorsed, repaired, modified, or forsaken?' The diverse answers given to this question by the eighteenth-century divines form the complex subject of this book, which offers the first detailed account of his influence upon the religious thinkers of the eighteenth century. The work is based upon a thorough search of relevant materials, many of them scarce and widely dispersed. But the question is still relevant three centuries after Locke's death, and Professor Sell's objective in this volume is not only historical. From this study of the reception of Locke by the divines there emerge pressing questions about method, reason, faith, revelation, and authority which need to be addressed by those who would attempt Christian apologetics as Christianity's third millennium approaches. Although this book stands in its own right, it can also be read as a companion volume to the author's Philosophical Idealism and Christian Belief (University of Wales Press, 1995). Together, the two books represent soundings taken in important Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment intellectual traditions. The question whether an apologetic method may be found which avoids the pitfalls exposed both by the examination of Locke and the idealists, and which circumvents latter-day embargoes upon Christian apologetics, will be addressed in a third and final volume.
Download or read book John Locke written by W. M. Spellman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1997-02-26 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the influence of late seventeenth-century Christianity in Locke's philosophical, political, and educational thought. Only over the last decade have historians begun to investigate the central role played by religion in Locke's vision for individual autonomy and social responsibility. This book incorporates the latest scholarship and reassesses the nature of Locke's most important writings in the light of his strong commitment to traditional Christian notions of morality and human purpose. W.M. Spellman has written an ideal introduction to Locke's work.
Book Synopsis Reason and Authority in the Eighteenth Century by : Gerald R. Cragg
Download or read book Reason and Authority in the Eighteenth Century written by Gerald R. Cragg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1964, this book examines the influence of reason and authority upon English thought in the eighteenth century. The text relates these two concepts to movements in religious and political thought, beginning with Locke's views on faith and reason before going through various areas and finishing with the beginnings of Romanticism. The age of the Enlightenment is seen as constituted, on the one hand, by an attempt to relate all significant intellectual movements to reason and, on the other, an attempt to devise proper restraints on the authority of reason. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in philosophy, social and political thought, and eighteenth-century English history.

Book Synopsis Religion, Reform and Modernity in the Eighteenth Century by : Robert G. Ingram
Download or read book Religion, Reform and Modernity in the Eighteenth Century written by Robert G. Ingram and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new interpretation of English history and religion in the eighteenth century. The eighteenth century has long divided critical opinion. Some contend that it witnessed the birth of the modern world, while others counter that England remained an ancien regime confessional state. This book takes issue with both positions, arguing that the former overstate the newness of the age and largely misdiagnose the causes of change, while the latter rightly point to the persistence of more traditional modes of thought and behaviour, but downplay the era's fundamental uncertainty and misplace the reasons for and the timeline of its passage. The overwhelming catalyst for change is here seen to be war, rather than long-term social and economic changes. Archbishop Thomas Secker [1693-1768], the Cranmer or Laud of his age, and the hitherto neglected church reforms he spearheaded, form the particular focus of the book; this is the first full archivally-based study of a crucial but frequently ignored figure. ROBERT G. INGRAM is Assistant Professor at the Department of History, Ohio University.

Book Synopsis Locke and Biblical Hermeneutics by : Luisa Simonutti
Download or read book Locke and Biblical Hermeneutics written by Luisa Simonutti and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume presents illuminating research carried out by international scholars of Locke and the early modern period. The essays address the theoretical and historical contexts of Locke’s analytical methodology and come together in a multidisciplinary approach that sets biblical hermeneutics in relation to his philosophical, historical, and political thought, and to the philological and doctrinal culture of his time. The contextualization of Locke’s biblical hermeneutics within the contemporary reading of the Bible contributes to the analysis of the figure of Christ and the role of Paul’s theology in political and religious thought from the seventeenth century to the Enlightenment. The volume sheds light on how Locke was appreciated by his contemporaries as a biblical interpreter and exegete. It also offers a reconsideration that overarches interpretations confined within specific disciplinary ambits to address Locke’s thought in a global historic context.
Book Synopsis John Locke Revisited by : Kevin Lee Cope
Download or read book John Locke Revisited written by Kevin Lee Cope and published by Macmillan Reference USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Locke was the most renowned philosopher, aesthetician, ethicist, and political scientist of the later seventeenth century. Who was this eccentric figure who, at various times in his life, held patronage political appointments, worked as a freelance medical doctor, bided time in exile, floated through non-conforming counter-cultures, restored himself at health spas, and played with scientific apparatus?" "It is this elusive gentleman that Kevin Cope seeks out in John Locke Revisited. After a careful study of the many different aspects of Locke's work and personality, Cope offers an entirely new, yet more holistic view, than may be found in previous studies. By taking into account the many different aspects of Locke's character and by carefully examining his lasting contributions to such divergent fields as politics and religion, Cope's book is the first such volume to offer an integrated portrait of Locke." "In John Locke Revisited, Kevin Cope offers us a comprehensive view of a true Renaissance man who exerted a lasting degree of influence throughout the English Enlightenment and into the modern day world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Philip Doddridge and the Shaping of Evangelical Dissent by : Robert Strivens
Download or read book Philip Doddridge and the Shaping of Evangelical Dissent written by Robert Strivens and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evangelical Dissent in the early eighteenth century had to address a variety of intellectual challenges. How reliable was the Bible? Was traditional Christian teaching about God, humanity, sin and salvation true? What was the role of reason in the Christian faith? Philip Doddridge (1702-51) pastored a sizeable evangelical congregation in Northampton, England, and ran a training academy for Dissenters which prepared men for pastoral ministry. Philip Doddridge and the Shaping of Evangelical Dissent examines his theology and philosophy in the context of these and other issues of his day and explores the leadership that he provided in evangelical Dissent in the first half of the eighteenth century. Offering a fresh look at Doddridge’s thought, the book provides a criticial examination of the accepted view that Doddridge was influenced in his thinking primarily by Richard Baxter and John Locke. Exploring the influence of other streams of thought, from John Owen and other Puritan writers to Samuel Clarke and Isaac Watts, as well as interaction with contemporaries in Dissent, the book shows Doddridge to be a leader in, and shaper of, an evangelical Dissent which was essentially Calvinistic in its theology, adapted to the contours and culture of its times.
