John Locke's treatises on government make frequent reference to the
Hebrew Bible, while references to the New Testament are almost
completely absent. To date, scholarship has not addressed this
surprising characteristic of the treatises. In this book, Yechiel
Leiter offers a Hebraic reading of Locke's fundamental political
text. In doing so, he formulates a new school of thought in Lockean
political interpretation and challenges existing ones. He shows how
a grasp of the Hebraic underpinnings of Locke's political theory
resolves many of the problems, as well as scholarly debates, that
are inherent in reading Locke. More than a book about the political
theory of John Locke, this volume is about the foundational ideas
of western civilization. While focused on Locke's Hebraism, it
demonstrates the persistent relevance of the biblical political
narrative to modernity. It will generate interest among students of
Locke and political theory; philosophy and early modern history;
and within Bible study communities.
