A proposito di questo titolo

 In this thought-provoking volume, the author explores the tumultuous relationship between science and theology throughout modern history. He argues that attempts to interfere with scientific progress in the name of religion—despite good intentions—have led to significant harm for both fields. Conversely, he posits that unimpeded scientific inquiry, even when it challenges religious beliefs, ultimately benefits both science and spirituality. This work chronicles the gradual liberation of scientific thought from theological constraints, though it has drawn criticism from contemporary scholars. Ronald Numbers, a historian of science, has labeled Whites narrative as more propaganda than historical fact. Notably, this book was also a favorite of Mark Twain, who found it a compelling critique of the reasoning of theologians, as evidenced by his extensively annotated personal copy. Join us as we delve into this fascinating intersection of faith and reason—narrated by John Greenman and informed by Wikipedia.Copyright Politics, Philosophy, Religion Mondiale Scienza Spiritualità
