The Case of Galileo and the Church
The Case of Galileo and the Church
Couldn't load pickup availability
Was Galileo really the victim of a Church set against science? Cardinal Walter Brandmüller weighs recent scholarship and shows that many familiar accounts of the affair contain serious historical mistakes. His aim is a fair, balanced picture rather than an apology or an accusation.
He explains why the Inquisition became involved and what it actually decided, Galileo's achievements, temperament and quarrels, and how the case fits into the scientific revolution and the wider relationship between science and Scripture. A timeline and bibliography make it a valuable resource for older students of history and science.
