Protestant Thought and Natural Science presents a concise interpretation of the relations between natural scientists and Protestant theologians from the Reformation to the present day. The book penetrates behind the skirmishes to the underlying issues in a manner not achieved before. From the introduction: "This volume is not a history of the conflicts between theology and science nor of the harmony between the two. It is, however, an attempt to penetrate behind the concrete issues, of which we all are aware in some form or another, to the underlying problems which exercised the major parties in the debates." John Dillenberger’s firsthand knowledge of the source material has enabled him to break through the “science-and-religion” stereotype in an account at once complex and interesting.
