Reviews
Victor Nuovo's book is the fruit of years of careful and thorough study of Locke's theological writings. This book is the culmination of his prior substantial work on the theological and religious dimension of Locke's thought. ... In the end, what makes Nuovo's book an excellent read is seeing how theological themes animate Locke's works in a way that illuminates the meaning and nature of the texts themselves, but that also demonstrates how these texts are continuous with one another within the broader framework of Locke's intellectual pursuits as a Christian virtuoso. Nuovo's book is essential reading for Locke scholars and highly recommended for those interested in the relationship between science and religion in the history of philosophy. * Elliot Rossiter, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *

Requiring familiarity with Locke's major and minor works, this volume serves well as a guide to establishing important connections between Locke's works ... Recommended. * T. L. Lott, CHOICE * Nuovo's new book makes a number of important contributions to Locke scholarship. But to my mind, one of the most important is to bring these difficult but very important questions into crystal clear focus. And while some readers might disagree with the answers he gives, it is clear that in the course of giving them he has provided us with a book of great value. * Patrick J. Connolly, Locke Studies *
