This book explores the religious concerns of Enlightenment thinkers
from Thomas Hobbes to Thomas Jefferson. Using an innovative method,
the study illuminates the intellectual history of the age through
interpretations of Jesus between c.1650 and c.1826. The book
demonstrates the persistence of theology in modern philosophy and
the projects of social reform and amelioration associated with the
Enlightenment. At the core of many of these projects was a robust
moral-theological realism, sometimes manifest in a natural law
ethic, but always associated with Jesus and a commitment to the
sovereign goodness of God. This ethical orientation in
Enlightenment discourse is found in a range of different
metaphysical and political identities (dualist and monist;
progressive and radical) which intersect with earlier 'heretical'
tendencies in Christian thought (Arianism, Pelagianism, and
Marcionism). This intellectual matrix helped to produce the
discourses of irenic toleration which are a legacy of the
Enlightenment at its best.
