Sir Isaac Newton'S Daniel And The Apocalypse; With An Introductory Study Of The Nature And The Cause Of Unbelief, Of Miracles And Prophecy

About this book

Before he became a symbol of modern science, Isaac Newton spent long nights poring over Scripture and history. These pages still quietly unsettle. In Sir Isaac Newton's Daniel and the Apocalypse, he turns his formidable reasoning to the book of Daniel prophecy and the Apocalypse, probing the meaning of biblical visions, timelines, and judgements. Coupled with an extended miracles and unbelief study, the work wrestles with why people doubt, how miracles function as signs, and what prophecy reveals about God's government of the world, giving readers a rare glimpse into the devotional mind behind the Principia. Part biblical prophecy commentary, part Christian eschatology book, this volume is at once rigorous and surprisingly personal. As a key document of 17th century Christianity and early modern biblical studies, it shows Isaac Newton on prophecy approaching Daniel and Revelation with the same seriousness he applied to mathematics and natural philosophy. Ideal as a Bible study reference or for seminary theology students exploring classic arguments about revelation apocalypse interpretation, it speaks equally to thoughtful lay readers seeking depth and to scholars tracing the intersection of science, faith, and history. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. A classic theology reference edition and a worthy centrepiece for any classic bible prophecy collection, it rewards slow reading, reflection, and lifelong return.
