Book Summary
In the popular imagination, historical relations between the Roman Catholic Church and modern science are best epitomized in the case of Galileo Galilei. Condemned in 1633 for advancing the theory of a moving earth and a stationary sun, he was not exonerated until 1992. Apart from a few specialized studies, there has not been any extensive historical treatments of Catholic attitudes towards science after Galileo. Roman Catholocism and Modern Science is the first general history of the reactions of the Roman Catholic Church to developments in the natural sciences from 1800 to the dawn of the twenty-first century.
