Physico-theology celebrated the observation of nature as a way toward the recognition of God as Creator and to demonstrate the compatibility of the biblical record with the new science. It was a crucial, albeit often underestimated element in the intellectual as well as socio-cultural establishment of the new science in western and central Europe beginning in the mid-seventeenth century. The importance of physico-theology in enhancing the acceptance of the new science among a broad educated public cannot be underestimated. Unfortunately, this insight has not yet received much attention in the history of early modern science, chiefly because the history of physico-theology tends to highlight the activities of virtuosi rather than well-known scientists. A contribution to the history of knowledge, this is the first monograph in English on physico-theology on the European scale. It concentrates on two genres, the argument from design, and the palaeontological argument regarding the role of the Deluge in the formation of fossils. It does so without neglecting practice (correspondence and collecting). It pays considerable attention to the historical context, above all to the new image of God as a wise, benevolent, rather than unpredictable being, which provided the practitioners of physico-theology (including clergy, physicians, lawyers, and philologists) with a new and powerful argument. It draws attention to the predominantly Protestant nature of the phenomenon and looks at the longevity of the argument from design in Britain and the Netherlands, where its demise came about as late as the first half of the nineteenth century.

This book, first published in 1984, brings together three essays written by specialists in German history of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries whose important work is little known to English-speaking historians. Peter Blickle argues for a strong connection between the theology of the Reformation and the ideologies of the social protest movements of the period. Hans-Christoph Rublack takes a wider theme of the political and social norms in urban communities in the Holy Roman Empire and emphasises the ideas of justice, peace and unity held within the community despite the upheavals of revolution and protest. Winfried Schulze provides a comparative assessment of early modern peasant resistance within the Holy Roman Empire.

This first book-length study of physico-theology questions the widespread notion of a steadily advancing early modern separation of religion and science.Beginning around 1650, the emergence of a number of new scientific concepts, methods, and instruments challenged existing syntheses of science and religion. Physico-theology, which embraced the values of personal, empirical observation, was an international movement of the early Enlightenment that focused on the new science to make arguments about divine creation and providence. By reconciling the new science with Christianity across many denominations, physico-theology played a crucial role in diffusing new scientific ideas, assumptions, and interest in the study of nature to a broad public. In this book, sixteen leading scholars contribute a rich array of essays on the terms and scope of the movement, its scientific and religious arguments, and its aesthetic sensibilities.Contributors: Ann Blair, Simona Boscani Leoni, John Hedley Brooke, Nicolas Brucker, Katherine Calloway, Kathleen Crowther, Brendan Dooley, Peter Harrison, Barbara Hunfeld, Eric Jorink, Scott Mandelbrote, Brian W.

1516 gab Erasmus von Rotterdam in Basel bei Johann Froben das Neue Testament heraus: die editio princeps des griechischen Textes, dazu eine revidierte lateinische Übersetzung sowie umfangreiche Anmerkungen. Diese Ausgabe sollte sich für die Wissenschafts- und Buchgeschichte als äußerst bedeutsam erweisen. Sie stellte einen Meilenstein der humanistischen Editionstätigkeit dar und legte die Grundlage für die Rezeption des biblischen Textes während der Reformation und Gegenreformation. Die Gestalt des griechischen Textes sollte auf Jahrhunderte hinaus maßgebend bleiben ( textus receptus). Mit seinen von Erasmus erweiterten und überarbeiteten Neuauflagen (1519, 1522, 1527 und 1535) wurde das Werk auch kommerziell zu einem einzigartigen Erfolg.Der vorliegende Band basiert auf einer Tagung, die anlässlich des bevorstehenden 500jährigen Jubiläums der Erstausgabe im September 2014 in Basel veranstaltet wurde.In 15 Beiträgen von international ausgewiesenen Spezialisten bietet der Band einen umfassenden Überblick über den neuesten Forschungsstand zu dieser epochalen Edition: Die philologische Vorgeschichte, der griechische Text und die Beigaben (Vorreden, Annotationes, Erasmus' lateinische Übersetzung) sowie Kommunikation und Rezeption des Werkes werden beleuchtet. Zugleich bietet der Band auch neue Einsichten über die Publizistik des Erasmus und die Geschichte des biblischen Textes."Der Band bietet neben zahlreichen detaillierten Forschungsbeiträgen, die in der weiteren Debatte nicht mehr übersehen werden können, den Nachweis einer intensiven und fruchtbaren interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit von Vertretern historisch arbeitender Disziplinen […]."Markus Wriedt in Theologische Literaturzeitung 141 (2016) 11, S. 1237-1239
