Overview
Although Thomas Hobbes was widely regarded by his contemporaries to be an atheist, scholars in the late nineteenth century reconsidered his works and reclaimed him as a sincere exegete of scripture. During the twentieth century a growing number of Hobbes scholars agreed with this revised interpretation. Paul D. Cooke's well-documented and thorough new study aims to reestablish the seventeenth century view of Hobbes by arguing that "Leviathan" is profoundly antipathetic to orthodox Christianity.Author Biography: Paul D. Cooke is a visiting assistant professor in the department of political science at the University of Houston.
