Research and writing toward a critical edition of John Locke’s (1632-1704) Discourse on Miracles and twenty short essays and notes on theological topics.

This project will complete a key volume in the Clarendon Edition of the Works of John Locke. Locke's writings on miracles are central to his influential philosophical and theological thought. But there is, as yet, no accurate and accessible edition of these writings. This grant will enable travel to archives to transcribe relevant Locke manuscripts, further work on the detailed General Introduction to Locke's texts, and the final organization and presentation of material in the volume.
