This book is based on my doctoral dissertation from the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem (1996) of the same title. As a master's
student, working on an entirely different project, I was well aware
that many of Newton's theological manuscripts were located in our
own Jewish National and University Library, but I was under the
mistaken assumption that scores of highly qualified scholars must
be assiduously scouring them and publishing their results. It never
occurred to me to look at them at all until, having fmished my
master's, I spoke to Professor David Katz at Tel-Aviv University
about an idea I had for doctoral research. Professor Katz informed
me that the project I had suggested was one which he himself had
just fmished, but that I might be interested in working on the
famous Newton manuscripts in the context of a project being
organized by him, Richard Popkin, James Force, and the late Betty
Jo Teeter Dobbs, to study and publish Newton's theological
material. I asked him whether he was not sending me into the
shark-infested waters of highly competitive scholarship, and
learned that in fact there were only a handful of scholars in the
world who actively studied and published on Newton's theology. At
the time the group consisted mainly of Popkin, Force, Dobbs, Frank
Manuel, Kenneth Knoespel, and David Castillejo.
