Synopsis
A Letter Concerning Toleration is the empiricist John Locke's argument for the separation of religion and government. The letter asserts that only those churches allowing toleration should be present in society, for only then will unrest be quelled. Although Locke wrote in reaction to the ubiquitous control of the Catholic Church, his concerns continue to be valid and his arguments worthy of study. [Amazon]
