The soul of science

Christian Faith and Natural Philosophy
Book • 1994
In 'The Soul of Science,' Nancy Pearcey and Charles Thaxton argue that Christian theism played a crucial role in the historical development of science.

They counter the common narrative that science emerged as a rejection of religious superstition, instead showing how early scientists, such as Newton, were motivated by their Christian faith.

The authors discuss various scientific revolutions, including those in physics, biology, and mathematics, and highlight the contributions of medieval scholars and the influence of Christian worldview on scientific thought.

The book also addresses contemporary issues, such as the informational content of DNA and its implications for theories of evolution.
