During the eighteenth century many opponents of Isaac Newton's cosmology and natural religion gravitated to the writings of John Hutchinson (1674-1737). Religion and Enlightenment in Britain investigates how and why a movement such as Hutchinsonianism came into being changed and eventually died. Taking an imaginative approach it integrates through a history of an intellectual movement religion at the very centre of the Enlightenment period in Britain. In so doing the book offers a fascinating perspective on the role of religion science and ecclesiastical history in eighteenth-century thought.
