Protestants in an Age of Science: The Baconian Ideal and Antebellum American Religious Thought

Protestants in an Age of Science: The Baconian Ideal and Antebellum American Religious Thought by Bozeman, Theodore Dwight. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780807812990.

Since Princeton College and Princeton Seminary were major radii of Realist influence, the conservative Presbyterianism headquartered there is an ideal choice for a case study in the American impact of Baconianism. Presbyterian thinkers, already committed to a synthesis of Protestant religion and Newtonian science, were afforded with additional means of elaborating a doxological version of natural science and of defending it against naturalism and other enemies of Christian faith.
