Abstract

In this chapter, I argue that, though Locke’s evidentialism – the idea that one ought to proportion the degree of one’s belief to the degree of the evidence in favour of that belief – is the most obvious way in which he has influenced contemporary Anglo-American philosophy of religion, Locke’s thought is a treasure trove of topics that ought to be of interest to every contemporary philosopher of religion. Though Locke is commonly held to be the inspiration for contemporary theistic evidentialism, this inheritance is only a fraction of what Locke has to offer scholars working in contemporary philosophy of religion.
