Letter Concerning Toleration
Book • 1689
In 'A Letter Concerning Toleration,' John Locke argues that the government should not interfere in matters of religion and that church and state should be separate entities.
Written in 1685 while Locke was in exile in Holland, the letter was published in 1689 in both English and Latin.
Locke advocates for religious toleration, suggesting that persecution and punishment cannot secure consent to a state religion and that it is in the best interest of the state to allow people to worship as they please.
However, he does not extend this toleration to Catholics, atheists, or other groups that he believed could pose a threat to the state.
The letter was influential during a time of significant religious persecution and contributed to the broader discourse on religious freedom and the role of the state in religious matters.
