ABSTRACT
There has been a tendency in the writings on T. H. Green since the 1940s to isolate for consideration his political and moral philosophy. The reason for this, quite understandably, is that Green is most approachable in these fields. The more traditional senses of the word citizenship are usually tied to political and legal functions. The word derives from the Latin civis and in its simplest sense means membership of a city. The most saintly minds are those which acquiese to the force of circumstance, presumably thus to the underlying reason of the world. The significance of the English Revolution, within the broader sweep of the Reformation is to introduce a new subject or individual, that may be called a radically free subject, or a Christian citizen. It is quite obvious to the close reader of Green that he is essentially a religious philosopher.
