The Renaissance, the Reformation, and the rise of science

"This vigorous and thought-provoking book is the third volume of a magisterial trilogy, following Theology and Science in Mutual Modification and Circles of God: Theology and Science from the Greeks to Copernicus." "Renaissance and Reformation and the Rise of Science examines the interaction of seminal ideas between theology and science since classical times. The method is to focus upon recurrent problems throughout the period, to illuminate the underlying principle and problems. These must be understood more adequately if we are to engage today in the task of overcoming the profound division in western thought and culture between faith and reason inherited from the Enlightenment." "Nebelsick's aim is no less than the cultivation of a theological renaissance: to further the rigorous exploration of all dimensions of faith and reason and to regenerate ideas about the service of God for the benefit of church, culture and all creation."--Jacket.
