More about the book
Exploring the intersection of religion and science, this work traces the evolution of our understanding of God from the 1600s to the millennium. It highlights how figures like Isaac Newton transformed the perception of God from a messenger-based figure to an omniscient overseer of the universe. The author argues that the fear of science undermining religious beliefs has shaped theological discourse. Through the insights of influential thinkers such as Calvin, Luther, and Einstein, the book presents a comprehensive history of Western thought on divinity and scientific progress.
