Starting with the classical view of God as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, this book lays the biblical foundation for the study of the natural world and explores the history of scientific reflection since Aristotle. Bloom argues that the Christian worldview provides the best grounds for scientific investigation, offering readers the framework they need to think and speak clearly about the pursuit of scientific knowledge. - Publisher. 0aReligion and science. 0aChristian philosophy. 0aNaturalismxReligious aspectsxChristianity. 0aSciencexPhilosophy. 7aChristian philosophy.2fast 7aNaturalismxReligious aspectsxChristianity.2fast 7aReligion and science.2fast 7aSciencexPhilosophy.2fast08iOnline version:aBloom,  John A., 1952-tNatural sciencesdWheaton : Crossway, 2015z9781433539367w(DLC) 2014037511 0aReclaiming the Christian intellectual tradition.
