In his later works, Gillespie has specialized on the relationship between religion and politics.[3] His book "The Theological Origins of Modernity" and his article "The Antitrinitarian Origins of Liberalism" revealed the extent to which modern thought is indebted to Christianity, contributing to the breaking of the cliché that modernity is a decisive break from the Middle Ages.[4][5][6]
