A Demonstration of the Being and Attributes of God. More Particularly in Answer to Mr. Hobbs, Spinoza and Their Followers

A defender of Newton against such figures as Descartes and Leibniz, Samuel Clarke distinguished himself in both scientific and theological scholarship. His works in the latter field include A Demonstration of the Being and Attributes of God and The Verity and Certitude of Natural and Revealed Religion; ethically, Clarke advocates a rationalist equation of moral truths to mathematical ones. Among his other works is a translation of Newton's Opticks into Latin, as well as Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity, for which he was accused of heresy.
