| Description:
It has now been ten years since we published our first edition of Newton’s writings on Biblical topics, The Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse – Isaac Newton; Printland Publishers 1998. That beginning had itself taken over a decade to move from our editing file to print, and at that time we fully intended to follow it up with other publications of Newton’s writings on Bible topics and Church history. Other things intervened, however, but as we are this year beginning our Classic Series with the Biblical writings of John Milton, a contemporary of Newton, we thought it appropriate to bring out this Theological Miscellany that has been lying in an unedited form for nearly twenty years.
The material is all from Newton’s pen, except, in a very few cases, where it has been thought necessary to add words to help the sense, in which case the additions are within square brackets [ ]. Roman numerals used in Biblical references have been replaced by those now in common usage to assist the modern reader,
Material included is all from sources published over fifty years ago, and that have been with the present publishers for much of that time. Sections in this volume include: Irenicum, A Short Scheme of True Religion, Religion, Twelve Articles, Seven Statements on Religion, The Language of the Prophets, and excerpts from Newton’s Common Place Book, and from the Yahuda manuscripts.
This work clearly places Newton among the anti-trinitarian writers of his time, a brave stand when a law of 1648 in England brought the death penalty for those propagating anti-trinitarian views.
