Religion, Politics and Thomas Hobbes

Focusing on Hobbes's political philosophy, this collection of essays spans a decade and emphasizes the English version of his seminal work, Leviathan. It includes a translation of the Latin Leviathan and explores Hobbes's religious views in relation to his political and scientific ideas. The essays challenge the use of Greek philosophy in interpreting Christianity, advocating for a scriptural perspective that undermines any authority outside the civil sovereign. The volume offers revised and expanded discussions, particularly on the economic implications of Hobbes's thought.
