Designed to contribute to a greater understanding of the religious
foundations of seventeenth century political writing, this study
offers a detailed exploration of the significance of the figure and
story of Adam at that time. The book investigates
seventeenth-century writings from England and New England-examining
writings by Roger Williams and John Eliot, Gerrard Winstanley, John
Milton, and John Locke-to explore the varying significance afforded
to the Biblical figure of Adam in theories of the polity. In so
doing, it counters over-simplified views of modern secular
political thought breaking free from the confines of religion, by
showing the diversity of political models and possibilities that
Adamic theories supported. It provides contextual background for
the appreciation of seventeenth-century culture and other cultural
artefacts, and feeds into current scholarly interest in the
relationship between religion and the public sphere, and in stories
of origins and Creation.
