Thank you for the URL pointing to Newton's theology. The circumstance that Cambridge refused these documents speaks volumes about contemporary English thought. I haven't taken the time even to glance at Newton's writings. Comparing Newton's theology with that of his rival Leibniz - Praestabilierte Harmonie and Theodizee - should be revealing as one tries to chart the divergence of uncompromising secular thought in England and the US: Locke - Hume - Bentham Mill - James - Dewey, from the German tradition, tinged as it is with mysticism - Kant - Schelling - Hegel - Schopenhauer - Nietzsche - Kierkegaard
