Matter and spirit in the universe scientific and religious preludes to modern cosmology
Helge Kragh (Author)
Cosmology is an unusual science with an unusual history. This book examines the formative years of modern cosmology from the perspective of its interaction with religious thought. As the first study of its kind, it reveals how closely associated the development of cosmology has been with considerations of a philosophical and religious nature.
