In this book Professor Collins offers a revisionist interpretation of Thomas Hobbes's evolving response to the English Revolution. He rejects the prevailing understanding of Hobbes as a consistent, if idiosyncratic, royalist and vindicates the contemporaneous view that the publication of Leviathan marked his accommodation with England's revolutionary regime. Collins argues that Hobbes interpreted the Revolution as an ecclesiastical crisis, the culmination of the long Reformation struggle to redefine the political structure of Christendom.
