Theology and the Scientific Imagination is a pioneering work of
intellectual history that transformed our understanding of the
relationship between Christian theology and the development of
science. Distinguished scholar Amos Funkenstein explores the
metaphysical foundations of modern science and shows how, by the
1600s, theological and scientific thinking had become almost one.
Major figures like Descartes, Leibniz, Newton, and others developed
an unprecedented secular theology whose debt to medieval and
scholastic thought shaped the trajectory of the scientific
revolution. The book ends with Funkenstein's influential analysis
of the seventeenth century's "unprecedented fusion" of scientific
and religious language. Featuring a new foreword, Theology and the
Scientific Imagination is a pathbreaking and classic work that
remains a fundamental resource for historians and philosophers of
science.
