This work reveals a lesser-known side of Sir Isaac Newton, published after his death: his lifelong study of biblical prophecy. In Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John, Newton applies his formidable analytical powers to the symbolic visions of these two scriptural books.
Newton interprets the prophecies in light of history, seeking to decode their imagery and chronology with the same rigor he brought to natural philosophy. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious convictions that animated one of history’s greatest scientists. This free EPUB edition is ready to read on any e-reader, tablet, or phone.
