		William Whiston succeeded Sir Isaac Newton as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge in 1703.
		Like his predecessor, Whiston presents an interesting combination of the scientific and the theological mind, but whereas Newton carefully concealed the true nature of his religious beliefs, Whiston, a well-known preacher, did not.
		Professor Force examines the writings in which Whiston applies his Newtonian Biblical interpretation to social, political, and theological issues in the context of the Newtonian movement at the turn of the eighteenth century.

	William Whiston and the Deluge

		The metaphor to which Whiston had referred was contained in the fact that the Holy Book had said it was the sun that came to a halt, when every good post-Copernican knew that it was the earth and not the sun that would have had to stop.
