John Locke: Vindications of the Reasonableness of Christianity

Victor Nuovo became editor of the Clarendon Locke in 1998. He has lectured at Middlebury College, Vermont, since 1962--as Professor of Religion, and then as Professor of Philosophy from 1975. He completed his PhD at Columbia University, and is the author of translations of two of Paul Tillich's early writings on Schelling, The Construction of the History of Religion in Schelling's Positive Philosophy and Mysticism and Guilt-Consciousness in Schelling's Philosophical Development (1975), and a study of Tillich's theology of culture: Visionary Science (1987). He has been working on early modern philosophy for over twenty years, and has been engaged in Locke studies since retirement from full time teaching.

Studying this excellent edition of these works by Locke may thus not merely develop understanding of past ideas and controversies but provoke reflection on profound questions that as yet await convincing answers.
