The Heavens, the Waters, and the Partridge
An exploration of the interaction between Christianity and science before modern science
Book •
Winston Ewert's book examines historical case studies where Christian theology and the scientific consensus of pre-modern eras intersected and sometimes clashed.
Ewert explores topics such as the immutability of the heavens, conservation of matter, astrology, and spontaneous generation to show how earlier Christians reasoned with contemporary science.
He argues that these debates reveal enduring themes about order, purpose, and the limits of scientific inquiry.
The book aims to provide readers context and humility by showing how past generations navigated similar faith-science tensions.
It is written for a general audience interested in the history of science and religion.
