The book explores the interplay between theology and the development of scientific knowledge during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It posits that early scientific methods were crafted to address the cognitive impairments caused by the Fall of Man, aiming to restore the understanding of nature that Adam originally had. Harrison challenges the notion of conflict between science and religion, highlighting the crucial role theological discussions played in shaping the foundations of modern science.
