The Foundations of Modern Science in the Middle Ages:Their Religious, Institutional and Intellectual Contexts

2 reviews
Edward Grant

Cambridge University Press, 1996

Do you believe in progress?
A very profound, solid and informative book! Grant, one of the best connoisseurs of medieval science, takes a long overdue step against the conservative mainstream in the field of the history of science; i.e. he corrects the absurd fairy tale of the invention of modern science through "great heroes" like Galileo, Descartes, Newton etc. by showing the great merits of medieval thinkers: The roots ...

Science and Religion, 400 B.C. to A.D. 1550: From Aristotle to Copernicus
Edward Grant

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2006

Historian Edward Grant illuminates how today's scientific culture originated with the religious thinkers of the Middle Ages. In the early centuries of Christianity, Christians studied science and natural philosophy only to the extent that these subjects proved useful for a better understanding of the Christian faith, not to acquire knowledge for its own sake. However, with the influx of Greco-Arabic science and natural philosophy into Western ...

A History of Natural Philosophy: From the Ancient World to the Nineteenth Century
Edward Grant

Cambridge University Press, 2007

Natural philosophy encompassed all natural phenomena of the physical world. It sought to discover the physical causes of all natural effects and was little concerned with mathematics. By contrast, the exact mathematical sciences were narrowly confined to various computations that did not involve physical causes, functioning totally independently of natural philosophy. Although this began slowly to change in the late Middle Ages, a much more ...

Timothy, Titus & You: A Workbook for Church Leaders

George C. Scipione

Timeless Texts, 2000

A must read for elders or those in church leadership!
This is a fantastic study through 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus. It focuses specifically on the office of Elder, but can be used or modified for other areas of church leadership. This book will challenge you. It presses you to honestly look at your walk and work within the church and compare it to the very high calling and standards put forth in the Scriptures. I can't recommend it enough.

A Workbook for New Testament Syntax: Companion to Basics of New Testament Syntax and Greek Grammar Beyond the ...

1 review
Daniel B. Wallace, Grant Edwards

Zondervan, 2007

Helpful, but no key.
The workbook is a useful tool, but it would be much more useful if it had a key available. Syntax is a very subjective science, and it would be helpful to know what the author considers to be the correct answers to the syntax questions. He clearly has answers in view, but the answers are not always clear to the student, or even to the teacher. The scoring system is a bit opaque as well. ...

Physical Science in the Middle Ages (Cambridge Studies in the History of Science)

1 review
Edward Grant

Cambridge University Press, 1978

Arbitrariness of medieval science
The medieval scholars got nowhere in mechanics because they considered the essence of science to be speculative and philosophical discussions of non-tangible things like vacuum, pure elemental bodies, metaphysical-causal explanations, etc. (chapter 4). It is easy to concoct many theories that can account for the broad qualitative aspects of motion but which have very different implications for ...
