Synopsis
Peter Harrison examines the role played by the Bible in the emergence of natural science. He shows how both the contents of the Bible, and more particularly the way it was interpreted, had a profound influence on conceptions of nature from the third century to the seventeenth. The rise of modern science is linked to the Protestant approach to texts, an approach that spelled an end to the symbolic world of the Middle Ages, and established the conditions for the scientific investigation and technological exploitation of nature.

Review
'This is a learned book, enormously ambitious, clearly and elegantly written, copiously documented, subtly and persuasively argued.
--David C. Lindberg, Isis
'... admirably lucid ... an arresting and provocative thesis. Harrison's sophisticated analysis is essential reading for anyone interested in the field of science-and-religion.'
--John Hedley Brooke, Metascience.
'Probably the most significant contribution to the early modern relationship between science and religion to be published for ten years.'
--Fraser Watts, Expository Times
'... a valuable survey and compelling account of the interaction between biblical hermeneutics and the natural sciences.... Well written, balanced, and rich in documentation....'
--Stephen Snobelen, Ambix
