Isaac Newton: Christianity and Trinity
It was interesting to read this article today on cnn.com:
Papers show Isaac Newton’s religious side
It is interesting to note that along with Newton’s brilliant scientific mind, he had a love for the Scriptures.
“Newton, who died 280 years ago, is known for laying much of the groundwork for modern physics, astronomy, math and optics. But in a new Jerusalem exhibit, he appears as a scholar of deep faith who also found time to write on Jewish law — even penning a few phrases in careful Hebrew letters — and combing the Old Testament’s Book of Daniel for clues about the world’s end.”
From his study, Newton was probably not a trinitarian. This has been documented by various sources. One presentation that I heard a number of years ago was very interesting. You might find it interesting as well:
