Description

Trade ReviewJudging Rights presents an understanding of Lockean thought that bridges the gaps between apparent contradictions and inconsistencies.... McClure's Locke offers a theistic but not a scriptural point of view. His works, whether Tracts or Treatises, line out the human position in a hierarchical order of creation. Humans are subject to God's law but also adopt the law to guide their actions.
