    摘要、提要註: The Word and the World explores the significant impact of biblical reading practices on the scientific thought of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, engaging not only with canonical figures such as Bacon,Brahe or Galileo, but also with less well-know figures, including Bruno, Browne andKhunrath. It addresses the idea that early modern naturalphilosophers forged their new disciplines despite, rather than becauseof, the pervasive bible-centredness of early modern thought. The essays in this volume challenge this critical presumption and offer substantial evidence for the centralityof scriptural interpretation for scientific thinkers of the period. It ranges across the early modernscientific landscape, as well as attending to a wide spectrum of religious confessions across Europe. In addition, the contributions display mulidisciplinary interests and appproaches, drawing frombackgrounds in Theology, the History of Science, Intellectual History, Literature and the Humanities.
