This is the first book-length study of the political and
theological views of Thomas White (alias Blacklo) and his followers
the Blackloists. It both complements and opens up new lines of
inquiry in the context of the current scholarship in two main
areas. On the one hand, historians of early modern England are
paying a tremendous amount of attention to the English Catholic
Church, stressing the importance of the Catholic perspective in
order to get a more accurate picture of England's religious and
political history. This study responds to these suggestions by
analyzing a group of English Catholics greatly influential in a
complex period of the history of England. On the other hand and
more generally, the volume explores the question of the
intersection between politics and religion during the 1640s and
1650s in a historiographical context in which the manifold and
complex link between the language of natural law and the language
of theology in the history of English Republicanism is currently
being taken into a greater account by a number of scholars. In this
context, White's political theory can be used as an extremely
interesting case-study to show how natural law bridged the
complexity of the relationship between theological and secular
arguments put forward in the debate around issues such as the
nature and limit of government and the relationship between
subjects and governors. As well as providing a detailed study of
White and his views, this book also provides a modern edition of
the full text of his most important political treatise The Grounds
of Obedience and Government, a distinctly Catholic version of
contractualism, that appeared to offer succour to a militantly
Protestant republican regime.
