Finding Locke's God

London & New York: Bloomsbury Press. HB (2019), PB (2021)

“Placing Locke in historical context, Nathan Guy demonstrates how deeply Locke’s theology, if at times heterodox, structured the whole of his political system.” Janet Soskice, Professor Emerita of Philosophical Theology, University of Cambridge, UK

This book is an indispensable guide to political philosophers and theologians who are interested in Locke, liberalism and the place of Christianity in public debate.” Paul Kelly, Professor of Political Theory, London School of Economics, UK

This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the perpetual crisis of religion and politics in the modern world, and anyone interested in that problem should read it.” Greg Forster, Director of the Oikonomia Network, Trinity International University, USA
