Takes up the thorny question of Hobbes' theology and its impact on his theory of government

Essays focus on Hobbes' distinction between natural and revealed religion to explain interpretive difficulties that have thus far resisted solution

Presents new insights into Hobbes' thinking on such topics as superstition, the role of the king as priest, true religion and the death of the soul

Includes the author's translation of the 1668 Appendix to the Latin Leviathan, newly revised and hitherto difficult to obtain

Seeks to advance our thinking about religion and politics in Hobbes beyond current impasses
