Priest of nature: the religious worlds of Isaac Newton

[New York ]: Oxford University Press (2017)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Religion and faith dominated much of Newton's life and work. His papers, never made available to the public, were filled with biblical speculation and timelines along with passages that excoriated the early Church fathers. Indeed, his radical theological leanings rendered him a heretic, according to the doctrines of the Anglican Church.
