About This Book

sciencereligionastronomynatural-philosophytheologyphilosophy

Written from a prison cell by a Dominican friar, this 1622 treatise is a high-stakes defense of Galileo Galilei against the charge of heresy. Campanella boldly argues that the 'Book of Nature' and the 'Book of Scripture' cannot contradict one another, challenging the Church to embrace scientific progress as a form of divine worship.
