An analysis of Johnson's relationship with the ethics and theology of the eighteenth century, examining the background to his views on a wide range of issues debated by the philosophers and divines of his age. The author emphasizes the ambivalence and contradiction inherent in the orthodoxy which Johnson espoused and challenges the assumption that Johnson's religious beliefs were unstable and filled with anxiety. He gained strength from the belief that he upheld an eminent tradition in Christian philosophy.
