Hall's absorbing survey of modern scholarship interprets Newton's experimental approach to nature. Mathematics was the deepest of Newton's varied interests, unified in his single Christian design to explore God's creation. He cannot be simplified as a Platonist or mystic, but remains a complex, enigmatic genius with an imaginative, commonsensical mind.

Henry More, the greatest English metaphysical theologian, was one of the few acknowledged by Newton as influencing his ideas. This biography contains fascinating insights into his physics, spiritual philosophy, and preoccupation with witchcraft. It is an exceptional account of the Scientific Revolution.
