De què tracta
L'intent de Locke de reduir el cristianisme al que realment cal creure, llegint els evangelis per veure què s'exigia als primers convertits.
Context i història
Publicat el 1695 sense signar, i amb motiu: la conclusió és que allò essencial és creure que Jesús és el Messies i esmenar la vida, i que la resta són coses afegides. Això li va valer immediatament l'acusació de socinianisme —és a dir, de negar la Trinitat— i una polèmica que va durar anys. Locke no la va reconèixer mai en vida com a seva. El llibre és una peça de la discussió sobre la tolerància tant com de teologia: si el mínim que cal creure és petit, el que es pot exigir per llei també.

And the righteous, as our Saviour says, Matt. xxv. 46, shall go into eternal life. Nor shall any one miss it, who 10 The Reasonableness of Christianity ', has done, what our Saviour directed the lawyer, who asked, Luke x. 25, What he should do to inherit eternal life ? " Do this," i. e. what is required by the law, " and thou shalt live." On the other side, it seems the unalterable purpose of the divine justice, that no unrighteous person, no one that is guilty of any breach of the law, should be in pa radise : but that the wages of sin should be to every man, as it was to Adam, an exclusion of him out of that happy state of immortality, and bring death upon him. And this is so conformable to the eternal and established law of right and wrong, that it is spoken of too, as if it could not be otherwise. St. James says, chap. i. 15, " Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth " death," as it were, by a natural and necessary pro duction. " Sin entered into the world, and death by « sin," says St. Paul, Rom. v. 12 : and vi. 23, " The " wages of sin is death." Death is the purchase of any, of every sin. Gal. iii. 10, " Cursed is every one, " who continueth not in all things which are written " in the book of the law to do them." And of this St. James gives a reason, chap. ii. 10, 11, " Whosoever " shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, " he is guilty of all: for he that said, Do not commit " adultery, said also, Do not kill :" i. e. he that offends in any one point, sins against the authority which esta blished the law.
