2019ril. Isaac Newton si staglia come una figura di assoluto primo piano sulla scena della sua epoca. La pubblicazione dei Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica (1687) e dell'Opticks (1704), due capolavori destinati a cambiare per sempre la storia della scienza, rivelò ai contemporanei un genio eclettico e versatile, che aveva scoperto le leggi dell'universo e la natura composita della luce solare. La fama che Newton si era conquistato con i risultati delle sue ricerche fu così pervasiva da sconfinare ben oltre le sue competenze scientifiche, tanto che nel corso della sua lunga carriera ricoprì cariche prestigiose e di potere: consigliere di fiducia del governo, direttore della Zecca, presidente della Royal Society. Eppure, questa immagine pubblica faceva da schermo a un altro Newton, che nascondeva in privato delle convinzioni religiose in contrasto con la legge e la dottrina anglicana tali che, se fossero state rese note, avrebbero messo in pericolo non solo il suo lavoro, ma perfino la sua vita. Religione e fede dominarono il pensiero di Newton. E le migliaia di pagine manoscritte dedicate all'esegesi biblica e all'interpretazione delle profezie testimoniano appunto che le sue posizioni teologiche, a partire dalla negazione del concetto centrale di Trinità, erano quelle di un vero e proprio eretico. Non stupisce quindi che lui stesso e gli eredi le avessero deliberatamente occultate, rimanendo per secoli pressoché inaccessibili. In questa ricerca Rob Iliffe ci introduce al pensiero religioso di Newton, facendoci capire la stretta connessione tra fede e scienza in uno dei momenti cruciali della storia e della cultura moderna. Il risultato è una biografia vibrante sulla profonda spiritualità dell'uomo che cambiò, come nessuno aveva mai fatto prima, il modo di guardare l'universo.
