This superlative introduction introduces Hobbes' main doctrines and arguments, covering all of Hobbes' philosophy.

The book offers a fresh interpretation of Hobbes, challenging the notion of him as a purely secular thinker. Professor Martinich contends that religious themes are integral to Hobbes's work, particularly in "Leviathan." He argues that Hobbes aimed to rationally defend the Calvinistic Church of England during James I's reign, suggesting that Christian doctrine can coexist with modern scientific thought without undermining political stability. This close reading repositions Hobbes within the context of his time, highlighting the interplay between religion and politics in his philosophy.
