Synopsis
One of a series, this book relates the theology of creation to the history of science from the early Church Fathers to modern physics. The author suggests that Christians have always been divided in their attitude to secular knowledge and how far it should influence theological convictions.

From Library Journal
This third volume in the "History of Christian Theology" series addresses the question of the relationship between science and theology. It makes no attempt to answer the question, but provides a historical overview from the early church and its views of Greco-Roman science to the mid-20th-century reaction of physicists (Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr) to the creationist tradition. Necessarily, because of the broad historical perspective covered, no topic is dealt with in-depth (each of the five chapters is approximately 50 pages). Extensive bibliographies follow each chapter. No index. Recommended for beginning students of science and religion seeking to put their studies into a basic historical context.
