Galileo and the Church: Political Inquisition or Critical Dialogue?
Feldhay, Rivka (Tel-Aviv University)
This book questions the traditional 'grand narratives' of science and religion in the seventeenth century. The well-known contradictions between the documents of Galileo's 'trials' are reread as expressions of the contradictory nature of the Counter Reformation Church.
