For the Glory of God

The Role of Christianity in the Rise and Development of Modern Science, The History of Christian Ideas and Control Beliefs in Science

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
