But in this pathbreaking work, Eric Nelson argues that this familiar story is wrong. Instead, he contends, political thought in early-modern Europe became less, not more, secular with time, and it was the Christian encounter with Hebrew sources that provoked this radical transformation.  During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Christian scholars began to regard the Hebrew Bible as a political constitution designed by God for the children of Israel. Newly available rabbinic materials became authoritative guides to the institutions and practices of the perfect republic. This thinking resulted in a sweeping reorientation of political commitments. In the book’s central chapters, Nelson identifies three transformative claims introduced into European political theory by the Hebrew revival: the argument that republics are the only legitimate regimes; the idea that the state should coercively maintain an egalitarian distribution of property; and the belief that a godly republic would tolerate religious diversity. One major consequence of Nelson’s work is that the revolutionary politics of John Milton, James Harrington, and Thomas Hobbes appear in a brand-new light.  Nelson demonstrates that central features of modern political thought emerged from an attempt to emulate a constitution designed by God. This paradox, a reminder that while we may live in a secular age, we owe our politics to an age of religious fervor, in turn illuminates fault lines in contemporary political discourse.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelson, Eric</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">“Shakespeare and the Best State of a Commonwealth”</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shakespeare and Early-Modern Political Thought</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.cambridge.org/gb/knowledge/isbn/item2428111/?site_locale=en_GB</style></url></web-urls></urls><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">David Armitage, Conal Condren, Andrew Fitzmaurice (Editors)</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelson, Eric</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">“From Primary Goods to Capabilities: Distributive Justice and the Problem of Neutrality”</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Political Theory</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>6</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hobbes, Thomas</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelson, Eric</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thomas Hobbes: Translations of Homer, Vols.

Hobbes translated the Homeric poems into English verse during the course of the 1670s, when he was already well into his eighties. These texts constitute his most extensive single undertaking, as well as his last major work. Yet, despite the explosion of interest in Hobbes over the last fifty years, this is the first modern critical edition of the Homer translations. Nelson provides extensive annotation detailing Hobbes's interactions with the Greek text of the epics and with other early-modern editions and commentaries, as well a substantial scholarly introduction placing Hobbes's enterprise in the wider context of Restoration politics and poetics. Nelson also offers a detailed analysis of the translations themselves, identifying the numerous instances in which Hobbes rewrites the poems in order to bring them into alignment with his views on politics, rhetoric, aesthetics, and theology. Hobbes's Iliads and Odysses of Homer, Nelson suggests, should be regarded as a continuation of Leviathan by other means. This edition will be fascinating reading for anyone interested in early-modern political philosophy, literature, and classical studies.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelson, Eric</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">“The Problem of the Prince”</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Cambridge Companion to Renaissance Philosophy</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://books.google.com/books?id=KHWXF1uTVZUC&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=the+cambridge+companion+to+renaissance+philosophy&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=-sR-5x3PWl&amp;sig=A3AxBcYynJAnx5h5q8TrlTib1IU&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=2e2xTemtH-Lu0gH5peHTDw&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=7&amp;sqi=2&amp;ve</style></url></web-urls></urls><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">James Hankins (Editor)</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelson, Eric</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">“‘Talmudical Commonwealthsmen’ and the Rise of Republican Exclusivism”</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Historical Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">50</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelson, Eric</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">John Dryzek,</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">et al</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">“Republican Visions”</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Oxford Handbook of Political Theory</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">November</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.us.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Politics/PoliticalTheory/?view=usa&amp;ci=9780199270033</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxford University Press</style></publisher><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelson, Eric</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">“Utopia through Italian Eyes: Thomas More and the Critics of Civic Humanism” </style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Renaissance Quarterly</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">59</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelson, Eric</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">“Liberty: one concept too many?” </style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Political Theory</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reprinted in The Norton Critical Edition of Utopia, ed.

It excavates an identifiably Greek strain of republican thought which attaches little importance to freedom as non-dependence and sees no intrinsic value in political participation. This tradition's central preoccupations are not honour and glory, but happiness (eudaimonia) and justice - defined, in Plato's terms, as the rule of the best men. This set of commitments yields as startling readiness to advocate the corrective redistribution of wealth, and even the outright abolition of private property. The Greek tradition was revived in England during the early sixteenth century and was broadly influential throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Its exponents included Sir Thomas More, James Harrington, Montesquieu and Thomas Jefferson, and it contributed significantly to the ideological underpinnings of the American Founding as well as the English Civil Wars.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelson, Eric</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&quot;Greek Nonsense in More's Utopia&quot;</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Historical Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reprinted in The Norton Critical Edition of Utopia, ed.
