内容説明
The "Key Issues" series aims to make available the contemporary responses that met important books and debates on their first appearance. These take the form of journal articles, book extracts, public letters, sermons and pamphlets which provides an insight into the historical relevance and the social and political context in which a publication or particular topic emerged. Each volume brings together some of the key responses to the works. Published anonymously in 1695, John Locke"s "The Reasonableness of Christianity" entered a world upset by theological conflict and became a subject of controversy. At issue were the author's intentions. John Edwards labelled it a Sconian work and charged that it was subversive not only of Christianity but of religion itself; others praised it as a sure preservative of both. Few understood Locke's intentions, and perhaps no one fully. This text describes the background to Locke's book and documents the disputes that followed its publication.
Providing an insight into the context of its conception and reception, it includes contributions by Samuel Bold, John Edwards, Charles Blount, and Daniel Waterland, bringing the discussion up to the 18th century. Also included is a review of "Reasonableness" found among Locke's previously unpublished papers.
