Enlightenment Reformation: Hutchinsonianism and Religion in Eighteenth-Century Britain: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Enlightenment Reformation: Hutchinsonianism and Religion in Eighteenth-Century Britain" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Taking a fresh and imaginative approach to the topic, Enlightenment Reformation investigates how and why Hutchinsonianism came into being, evolved and eventually ended. In surveying the history of this intellectual movement, it explores the controversies in and around religion that sat at the very centre of the Enlightenment period in Britain.

During the eighteenth century, many opponents of Isaac Newtons cosmology and natural religion gravitated to the writings of John Hutchinson (16741737). United by a strong belief in the Christian Trinity and a particular approach to the reading of Hebrew Biblical texts, the essential tenets of Hutchinsonianism remained for over a century the main source of opposition to Enlightenment scientific theories. Integrating the various aspects of Hutchinsonianism that together help to define the movement, this book first critiques the existing historiography on the subject and second provides an overview of the movements thought, growth and downfall.

This volume offers a fascinating perspective on the role of religion, science and ecclesiastical history in eighteenth-century thought and will be valuable reading for scholars working in intellectual and cultural history, in particular the history of philosophy, legal history, education and the relationship between church and state in the early modern period.

Contents
Recently, there has been a considerable attempt by historians of eighteenth-century intellectual history to present the religious and conservative side of the Enlightenment thought. Hutchinsonianism, as an eighteenth-century orthodox movement, provides an example of the argument that the Enlightenment was a battlefield of fideistic and rationalistic forces. This book aims to explain how and why a movement such as Hutchinsonianism came into being, changed and eventually died. Hutchinsonians crusaded their way into the eighteenth-century intellectual arena with their relentless war against heterodoxy. The Hutchinsonian system had many branches and all of them had their foundations in the idea of the Christian Trinity: for example, a Trinitarian cosmology designed as an alternative to Newtonian cosmology and natural religion, or a certain Hebrew linguistic method to highlight the Trinitarian promise in the Old Testament. The attempt made by the Hutchinsonians can be seen as one to redefine orthodox Protestant identity, by making use of a re-assessment of Enlightenment epistemology, an almost cabbalistic method of dealing with the Old Testament text, and the reinstatement of the authority of the Book in a proper Protestant fashion.
A survey of Hutchinsonianism over the eighteenth century provides answers to questions about the demise of the movement as well as its genesis. An examination of the different generation of followers exhibits the reasons for change in the movement over time. Hutchinsonians later in the century were more and more willing to dispense with or play down parts of the system for various reasons. It will be argued here that, first, they lost the battles they were engaged in on some fronts, like Hebrew studies; second, some of their reactionary attitudes became redundant, such as anti-Newtonianism, and third, there developed a reluctance to embrace Hutchinson and his whole system, in order to be able to concentrate more on being relevant to the general cause of orthodoxy. The question of the movements demise is presented in association with the increasing conservatism of the late eighteenth century, in response to the revolutionary ideas fed abroad, by France and America. It will be argued that the willingness to try to ameliorate the public profile of Hutchinsons system led to the movements submergence within a wider orthodoxy.
