John Dillenberger

John Dillenberger (b. 1918; d. 2008) [ [http://www.gtu.edu/news-events/gtu-news/in-memory-dr-john-dillenberger In Memory of] ] was a historian of science specializing in the relations of religion and science. For three decades, his book "Protestant Thought and Natural Science" (Doubleday, 1960) was a leading introductory survey. [ John Hedley Brooke, Bibliographic Essay (pages 348-403) in "Science and Religion: Some Historical Perspectives", 1991, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0-521-23961-3 ::

There is a prolific literature having "the relations between science and religion" as its organizing theme. Much is suspect because of thinly veiled apologetic intentions; much is vitiated by an insensitivity to the richness of past debates that historical analysis alone can remedy. Among recent studies... Although colored by a distinctive Protestant neo-orthodoxy, the historical interpretation in John Dillenberger, Protestant theology and natural science (London, 1961), has also retained much of its value.
