Abstract
- This paper discusses the absence of New Testament references in Locke’s TWO TREATISES. (1) It considers Locke’s relation to Filmer and attacks interpretations which see Locke as producing nothing but a political pamphlet. (2) It examines Locke’s interpretation of ROMANS 13: 1-5, and argues that Locke does not read this as a general support for political authority (let alone slavery). (3) It considers the use of Christian material in Locke’s writing on toleration, and abandons positions previously held by this paper’s author. But (4) it does not resolve the mystery about the absence of New Testament references in the TWO TREATISES [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
