What was John Locke doing, as he eagerly learned about, bought, and read contemporary works of biblical scholarship? My latest article looks at a less familiar side of Locke's life, suggesting it reveals an underappreciated early modern world of 'everyday erudition'.

New in 'Transactions of the Royal Historical Society'

'Everyday Erudition: John Locke, the Bible and
the Challenge of Early Modern Biblical
Scholarship', by Timothy Twining bit.ly/3IkveRA

How was ‘everyday erudition’ used to come to terms with the historical reality of Christian revelation? 1/2
'Everyday Erudition: John Locke, the Bible and the Challenge of Early Modern Biblical Scholarship', by Timothy Twining. Full abstract: 

The history of early modern scholarship was long written as a subject set at some remove from
the rest of early modern society. Learning was the common property of like-minded scholars
in the ‘Republic of Letters’, linked by shared codes of elite sociability and united by a mutual
concern to transcend religious boundaries. Recent years have seen such views challenged,
with studies demonstrating how much scholarly activity was undertaken to achieve confessional objectives. Yet, these contributions have chiefly focused on orthodox clerical scholars.
This article uses the case of John Locke to present a new perspective on the place and significance of erudition in the early modern period. It is based on a thoroughgoing examination
of Locke’s lifetime of religious reading, bringing together evidence from his manuscript notebooks and journals, his library catalogues and annotated books, and his correspondence and
published works. It coins the notion of ‘everyday erudition’ to reveal how learning was not an
abstruse concern. Instead, for Locke and his contemporaries at multiple points on the sociocultural scale, it was a kind of common currency, a tool to be used to come to terms with the
historical reality of Christian revelation

Amazingly, there's a permanent university job available in History! It's 'only' part-time, and as the only non-fixed term contract in the entire UK available right now will probably see a queue form many hundreds long, but it'll be great for someone: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOO275/l...
