Theology students, historians and students of the history of science will find an astonishing wealth of information on the scientific quest through the centuries, and most specifically, the birth of science. The author's thesis contends that in cultures where scientific progress came to a standstill, there was no belief in a law of nature. He further contends that scientific progress resumed only after the establishment of a belief in a rational, transcendent creator. Originally published in 1974 by Scottish Academic Press.
