The Religious Way of John Locke from the Essay to the Paraphrase (1690–1704)

Abstract

Over recent decades a new chapter in the book of John Locke’s intellectual path has been opened. For a long period only his works about natural law, politics, tolerance and, above all, epistemology were widely known. Recently, however, the religious interests, which had been alive since his early youth but found full expression in print only in his old age, have received their deserved attention.
