Synopsis
Composed in a period of religious and political upheaval, Culverwell's Discourse of the Light of Nature is an imaginative statement of the teachings of Christian humanism concerning the nature and limits of human reason and the related concepts of natural and divine law. The lengthy introduction to this new critical edition throws light on the evolution of English rationalism in the seventeenth century, and the annotation establishes for the first time the full range of Culverwell's sources - classical, medieval, and Renaissance - and enables the reader to appreciate his manner of citing authority and handling illustration.

About the Author
Nathaniel Culverwell (1619-1651) was an English author and theologian, born in Middlesex. He was also a student and later a fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
Review
The republication of this impressive edition will encourage the ongoing study of Culverwell as a significant figure at the genesis of modern ethical thought. The University of Toronto Press volume (1971) is republished here with all its principal features bar the editors' original Introduction. In recent times, Messrs. Greene and MacCallum's scholarly Introduction has been roundly praised for being balanced, informative, and useful.
