Cambridge Platonists

The Cambridge Platonists is written with students and novice theologians in mind. It provides context as well as description while outlining the most representative ideas of the school with clarity and brevity. This introduction will meet the needs of many readers but for those beginning a study of the works of the Cambridge Platonists the Eight Letters of Dr. Antony Tuckney and Dr. Benjamin Whichcote not only provide a logical starting point in that they present the most characteristic ideas of Whichcote-arguably the Cambridge Platonists' founding member-but also helps to clarify what sets this school of religious thought apart from contemporary Puritan theology as represented by Tuckney.
