30John Locke, Thomas Sydenham, and the authorship of two medical essaysElectronic British Library Journal 3 1-42. 2009.Two medical essays in the hand of John Locke survive amongst the Shaftesbury Papers in the National Archives (National Archives PRO 30/24/47/2, ff. 31r–38v and ff. 49r–56r). Since the 1960s their authorship has been disputed. Some scholars have attributed them to the London physician Thomas Sydenham, others have attributed them to Locke. Detailed analyses of their contents and the context of their composition provide very strong evidence for Lockean authorship. This is reinforced by the applicat…Read more

27The science of nature in the seventeenth century: patterns of change in early modern natural philosophy (edited book)Springer Science and Business Media. 2005.The seventeenth century marked a critical phase in the emergence of modern science.

17The Christian Virtuoso and the Reformers: Are there Reformation Roots to Boyle’s Natural Philosophy?Lucas: An Evangelical History Review 27 1-20. 2000.The question of the extent to which a natural philosopher like Robert Boyle was influenced by the reformers has a great deal of intrinsic interest. That Boyle was a Protestant and was well versed in the current theological issues of his day is beyond dispute. But the central question to be explored in this paper is the extent to which he was influenced either directly by the reformers themselves or indirectly by Calvinist theology. This in turn has implications for the broader historiographical …Read more
