ROBERT GROSSETESTE AND THE PURSUIT OF RELIGIOUS...

This book explores a wide range of topics relating to scientific and religious learning in the
work of Bishop Robert Grosseteste (c. 1168-1253) and does so from various perspectives 
including those of a twenty-first century scientists  historians  and philosophers as well as
several medievalists. In particular  it aims to contribute to our understanding of where to
place Grosseteste in the history of science (against the background of the famous claim by A.C.
Crombie that Grosseteste introduced what we now might call experimental science) and to
demonstrate that the polymathic world of the medieval scholar  who recognized no dichotomy in
the pursuit of scientific and philosophical theological understanding  has much to teach those
of us in the modern world who wrestle with the vexed question of the relationship between
science and religion. The book comprises an edited selection of the best papers presented at
the 3rd International Robert Grosseteste Conference (2014) on the theme of scientific and
religious learning  especially in the work of Grosseteste.
