This work focuses on a rarely noted side of the Protestant reformer
John Calvin: the theologian as a man appreciative of the details of
God's creation, an admirer of those who investigate nature, and a
leader that accepted their discoveries and conclusions. John Calvin
and the Natural World explores the content of Calvin's scientific
outlook by reviewing his views on the structure of the cosmos; the
nature of matter and motion; weather; the age, shape, place, and
history of the Earth; and the behaviors and characteristics of
animals, plants, the human body, and disease. Also drawn out, are
the classical, biblical, and medieval influences on Calvin's ideas
about nature. Professor Davis A. Young concludes the work with a
discussion of Calvin's attitudes, practices, and ideas with respect
to science in comparison to how these ideas are carried out in the
contemporary church. Professor Young surmises that the judicious
application of Calvin's principle of accommodation would help the
church to deal in a more thoughtful and balanced way in respect to
science and nature, and to defuse some of the rancorous debates
surrounding the age of the Earth, flood geology, and evolution.
