Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. In John Locke's Theology: An Ecumenical, Irenic, and Controversial Project, Jonathan S. Marko offers the closest work available to a theological system derived from the writings of John Locke. Marko argues that Locke's intent for The Reasonableness of Christianity, his most noted theological work, was to describe and defend his version of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity and not his personal theological views. Locke, Marko says, intendedthe work to be an ecumenical and irenic project during a controversial time in philosophy and theology. Locke described what qualifies someone as a Christian in simple and irenic terms, and argued for the necessity ofScripture and the reasonableness of God's means of conveying his authoritative messages. The Reasonableness of Christianity could be construed as personal, but mainly in the sense that it puts the burden of understanding Scripture and arriving at theological convictions on the autonomous individual, rejecting the notion that one should base one's doctrinal opinions on so-called authorities. His work was inadvertently controversial partly because then, like today, readers typicallyfailed to make a distinction between Locke's personal and programmatic positions.Marko also points to places in Locke's corpus where he avoids advocating for a particular sectarian positionin his treatment of theological doctrines. What is more, it shows why attempting to categorize Locke--a philosopher, theologian, and political scientist all at once--according to traditional Christian paradigms is a dangerous misstep and a difficult scholarly feat. John Locke was one of history's greatest polymaths. In addition to writing books on philosophy and political science, he also wrote theological books. His best-known theological work is The Reasonableness of Christianity, a book credited as being a window into the theological thoughts of John Locke. Scholars have made arguments from the book about why Locke is partial to a particular sect or an admixture of a couple of them. This book argues, however, thatscholars have not recognized that Locke's book was not intended to be a promulgation of his personal theology, but rather a program that most professed Christians could agree upon, particularly in the areas of eternal salvation and divine revelation.
