The book explores the Enlightenment battle over the Old Testament, focusing on John Hutchinson's critique of Isaac Newton's influence on biblical interpretation. Hutchinson believed that Newton's naturalism diminished the Old Testament's value as Scripture. In response, he initiated a movement aimed at reclaiming its doctrinal and moral significance, emphasizing its role in understanding God's Providence in nature and history. This work highlights the ongoing struggle to uphold the Old Testament's importance in Christian faith amidst cultural shifts.
