More about the book
The book challenges the common belief that Christianity opposed science during the Middle Ages, highlighting how medieval theologians actually embraced natural philosophy. It argues that their support was crucial for the development of science, laying the groundwork for the Scientific Revolution. Readers will discover how the scientific culture we have today is deeply rooted in the intellectual contributions of religious thinkers from this era, reshaping the narrative of science and religion's historical relationship.
