Newton&s unusual &8213; or even downright heretical &8213; religious opinions were well known to a number of his contemporaries For over two centuries the exact nature of his religious beliefs was a matter of intense debate but by the middle of the nineteenth century it was public knowledge that he had held highly unorthodox conceptions of the Trinity Until the early 1970s very few of Newton&s private theological researches had been made publicly available & scholars did not determine his views with any precision However in the last few years millions of words from his previously unpublished religious writings have become publicly available making it possible to offer a considered account of their content & to assess what they tell us about the man In Priest of Nature Newton scholar Rob Iliffe does just that Tracing Newton&s life from his birth though his years as a Cambridge don his tenure as Warden & Master of the Mint & his twenty-four years as President of the Royal Society up to his death in 1727 Iliffe examines how Newton managed the complex boundaries between private & public professions of belief While previous scholars & biographers have attempted to find coherence in his intellectual pursuits Iliffe shows how wide-ranging & catholic Newton&s views & interests in fact were & in that takes issue with those who have attempted to underestimate their range & complexity Arguing that there is no simplistic coherence between Newton&s philosophical & religious views Priest of Nature delves into the religious writings Newton produced during his life from his account of the sexually depraved lives of the early monks to his views about the creation of the world & the Apocalypse & his commitment to a simple (anti-Trinitarian) doctrine that he believed had been corrupted in the first centuries of Christianity Iliffe argues that religious commitments lay at the heart of Newton&s earliest scientific research & shows how his analysis of the techniques he used to prosecute corrupters of Christian doctrine were identical to those he used when dealing with his scientific enemies Ultimately Priest of Nature asserts Newton&s ambitious engagement with a tradition central to Western thought displays the same creative energy visible in his mathematical & scientific work & despite his reluctance to follow any specific sect he should be seen as a devout layman who made independence of thought a core virtue Offering novel insights into the spiritual life of Newton Priest of Nature is both a scholarly work & a vibrant biography of one of the most influential scientists in history ...
