This book deals with Newton's understanding of the original divine design hidden in the mathematical laws of nature and delivered to humanity by messengers, such as Noah, Moses and Christ. It is the first scholarly work to point out that for Newton the three laws of motion, the Principia and the two central Biblical Commandments (worshipping and loving God alone and loving thy neighbor) touch upon the practical applications of God's original design.
