In his commentary of this work, Jaconb Donald Chaterjee writes, "The study of John Locke's theological thought has yet to be combined with the growing historical research into the apologetic uses of Christian antiquity in the post-1660 Church of England. This article addresses this historiographical lacuna by making two related arguments. First, I contend that Locke's Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistles of St. Paul (17057) marked a definitive shift in his critique of the appeal to Christian antiquity. Before 1700, Locke had primarily contested these references to the precedent of the early Christian church by making a narrowly philosophical case against arguments from authority in general. However, the controversial reception of Locke's theological writings in the 1690s compelled him to develop historical arguments in the Paraphrase against the witness of the church fathers. Secondly, I argue that Locke's repudiation of the witness of Christian antiquity was a primary motivation for the diverse responses to the Paraphrase by early eighteenth century Anglican writers, such as Robert Jenkin, Daniel Whitby, William Whiston, Winch Holdsworth, and Catharine Cockburn."
