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.
] "As an introductory survey, this book has been superseded by [ Christopher B. Kaiser's "Creation and the History of Scince" (Eerdmans, 1991)] ." [ "Science and Religion in the English Speaking World, 1600-1727 A Biliographic Guide to the Secondary Literature", Richard S. Brooks & David K. Himrod, Scarecrow Press, 2001, ISBN 0-8108-4011-1, pp.101-102, 241]
