Omschrijving

Posthumously published in 1733, Isaac Newton's Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John offers a rigorously historicist reading of biblical prophecy. In spare, methodical prose, Newton correlates Daniel's four kingdoms, the seventy weeks, and the 1,260 days with the long arc of imperial and ecclesiastical history, and aligns Revelation's seals, trumpets, and beasts accordingly. Drawing on philology, chronology, and the work of Joseph Mede, he assembles a dense apparatus of cross-references to Scripture, Fathers, and chroniclers, arguing for gradual fulfillment rather than sudden catastrophe. The author of the Principia was also a lifelong theologian. As Master of the Mint and President of the Royal Society, Newton cultivated an aversion to speculative enthusiasm; in private notebooks and drafts he pursued prophecy with the same evidential discipline he brought to natural philosophy. He consulted the original languages, patristic testimony, and conciliar history to recover primitive Christianity, and he resists confident date-setting, preferring large-scale periods and caution about timetable claims. This volume rewards historians of science, students of Reformation and Enlightenment exegesis, and curious lay readers; it is a bracing model of sober apocalyptic interpretation and an indispensable document of Newton's mind.
