Contending that modern readers do the book an injustice by neglecting its metaphysical and theological themes, David Johnston supports his claim with a detailed examination of the text as a whole and with a reinterpretation of the genesis of the work.Johnston, David is the author of 'Rhetoric of Leviathan Thomas Hobbes and the Politics of Cultural Transformation' with ISBN 9780691023175 and ISBN 0691023174.
