metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article gives a comparative analysis of the principle of parsimony in the theology
  of Sir Isaac Newton and Polish Brethren, or the Socinians. The author defines the significance of this principle for their approach to the problems in the fields.
  It includes scriptural hermeneutics, polemics against the doctrine of the Trinity,
  antimetaphysical theological framework, questions of settling the Christian community,
  limits of adiaphora, and conditions of salvation and tolerance. The author
  claims that, regardless of a few discrepancies, in the cases of both Newton and the
  Socinians two almost identical theological systems are based on the same doctrinal
  presupposition, i. e. the principle of parsimony. The author shows the similarity
  between Newton and the Socinians not only at the level of the content of thought
  but also at the level of the form in which they expressed their ideas. For example,
  the image of Pantocrator from the “General Scholium” almost verbatim reproduces
  the formulations of the Socinian John Crell. With this two-fold similarity given, and
  with the fact that Newton multiple times contacted Socinians, such as Samuel Crell,
  it is reasonable to conclude that Newton’s thought was, in many respects, shaped by
  Socinian theology.
