Sommario/riassunto |
|
For the Glory of God provides an illuminating history of the role of Christian ideas in the physical and biological sciences from the Middle Ages to today. Jones shows that a "control" model explains the complex history of religion and science, while the popular "war" and "harmony" models do not. |
