“Truth is Not Subject to Human Empire”

Now a niche figure in intellectual history, Samuel Pufendorf was one of the great lights of the early Enlightenment. A renowned professor of law, Pufendorf is John Locke’s rival in forging the modern logic of religious tolerance. The link between early modern Christianity and violence, which occasions Pufendorf’s book The Bearing of Christian Religion on Civil Life, is broken by his re-elaboration of the Augustinian tradition that this book seeks to retrace. Jesus is a king, according to Pufendorf, but his kingdom is “not of this world”. A correct reading of the Roman trial of Jesus is thus, for him, a sine qua non of a European political culture in which ritual and confessional differences are tolerated.
