This book, in language accessible to the general reader,
investigates twelve of the most notorious, most interesting, and
most instructive episodes involving the interaction between science
and Christianity, aiming to tell each story in its historical

Among the events treated in "When Science and Christianity Meet"
are the Galileo affair, the seventeenth-century clockwork universe,

to students."--Peter J. Bowler, "Isis "
