The Bible, Protestantism, and the Rise of Natural Science
Overview
Peter Harrison examines the role played by the Bible in the emergence of natural science.

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.
