Description

This Routledge study examines how seventeenth-century political thinkers across England and New England invoked the biblical figure of Adam to theorise about government and society. Drawing on writings by Roger Williams, John Eliot, Gerrard Winstanley, John Milton, and John Locke, the book reveals the theological underpinnings of early modern political thought and challenges assumptions about the supposed secularism of this era. The author demonstrates how Adam's story functioned as a powerful interpretive lens for debates about authority, human nature, and the foundations of the polity, offering scholars and students a nuanced understanding of how religious concepts shaped political philosophy during this formative period.

Key Features

Explores Adam's significance in political writings by Roger Williams, John Eliot, Gerrard Winstanley, John Milton, and John Locke across seventeenth-century England and New England.

Examines how biblical theology informed early modern theories of government and political authority during the seventeenth century.

Counters simplified narratives about the origins of secular political thought by revealing the religious foundations of this era's political writing.

Offers detailed analysis of how the Adam narrative functioned in political discourse across transatlantic communities.
