Avtor v prispevku predstavi okoliščine korespondence med teologom in klasicistom Richardom Bentleyem in filozofom Isaacom Newtonom. Bentley je v svojih osmih Boylovih predavanjih, naslovljenih Ovržba ateizma, uporabil številne misli in ugotovitve, ali pa njihove izpeljave, iz Newtonovih Matematičnih principov filozofije narave, ker pa ni pa bil povsem prepričan, ali jih dovolj dobro razume, se je obrnil na Newtona s prošnjo za dodatna pojasnila. Newton v svojih odgovorih pojasnjuje nekatere temeljne elemente svoje filozofske teologije ali metafizike in filozofije narave, predvsem o vlogi in delovanju Boga pri stvarjenju in ureditvi sveta. Tako Bentley kot Newton sta prepričana, je svet ustvaril »umni dejavnik«. Drugi pomemben vidik korespondence predstavljajo Newtonova razmišljanja o gravitaciji ali, povedano drugače, vprašanje, ali je gravitacija materiji vrojena ali ne, in o možnosti delovanja teles na daljavo.
