Philosophical Commentary on the Words of the Gospel 'Compel Them to Come In', written by the Protestant philosopher Pierre Bayle in 1686-88, was a classic statement of the case for toleration at a time of extreme persecution. This collection of Kilcullen's writings on Bayle's work examines a wide range of 17th-century religious and philosophical issues, including Bayle's arguments, Arnauld's attack on Jesuit moral theories similar to Bayle's, the uses and limitations of "reciprocity" arguments, the "ethics of belief," and questions of moral responsibility and free will.
Industry Reviews

The analyses of the problems are penetrating, the presentation is elegant.' The Heythrop Journal 'he is fastidious in his exegesis, and conscientious in establishing the moral and theological positions adopted by each writer in the context of his times' Judith Sproxton, University of Birmingham. THES 'a scholarly and interesting book' David Brown, Journal of Theological Studies 'an unusual and intriguing blend of philosophical analysis with the history of ideas' John Dunn, King's College, Cambridge, Historical Journal
