1697 John LOCKE Commonplace
Book BIBLE Interpretation Miracles Demons Angels
“I have always thought the actions of men the
best interpreters of their thoughts.”
– John Locke
John Locke was
without question one of the world’s most important philosophical thinkers. He
published books on human understanding and was the first to describe the idea
of ‘blank state’ of the mind. However, in 1685, Locke published the first of
his ‘commonplace books’ in which he described the formulas for understanding
ideas, quotations, and sayings. This style of writing proved effective for
learners so many other writers began publishing common-place books to build on
the popularity established by Locke.
One such work was “A Commonplace Book to the Holy Bible” –
an anonymously published supplement to scripture reading and interpretation. It
provides extensive descriptions on the character of God, the relationship
between Christ and the church, on saints, and the roles and duties believers.
This book has long been attributed to John Locke, but this attribution has been
contested in modern scholarship.
