Creational Theology and the History of Physical Science: The Creationist Tradition from Basil to Bohr

Christopher B Kaiser, "Creational Theology and the History of Physical Science: The Creationist Tradition from Basil to Bohr "
English | ISBN: 9004106693 | | 464 pages | PDF | 67 MB

This volume documents the role of creational theology in discussions of natural philosophy, medicine and technology from the Hellenistic period to the early twentieth century. Four principal themes are the comprehensibility of the world, the unity of heaven and earth, the relative autonomy of nature, and the ministry of healing.
Successive chapters focus on Greco-Roman science, medieval Aristotelianism, early modern science, the heritage of Isaac Newton, and post-Newtonian mechanics.
The volume will interest historians of science and historians of the idea of creation. It simultaneously details the persistence of tradition and the emergence of modernity and provides the historical background for later discussions of creation and evolution.
