In this piece we look at the way in which science has shaped Christian self-understanding over history and reflect upon deep, though perhaps surprising, similarities between High Scholasticism as a response to the challenge of 'scientific' Aristotelian rationalism which arose in the mid-thirteenth century and Transformation Theology as a delayed response to Newtonianism. In both cases the emphasis lies on the retrieval of a Christian integration of love and reason in the person of faith. A version of the paper can also be download here.
