In this book David Wootton assesses Sarpi's public opinions in the light of the views expressed in his private papers, reinterprets his life work as being the expression, not of a love of intellectual liberty, nor of a commitment to Protestantism, but of a carefully thought out hostility to doctrinal religion.
