He argues that religious faith--Christian, Jewish, and Muslim--did not oppose but rather fostered the making of a modern scientific spirit, buoyed along by a providential view of history and nature, and a deep conviction in the coming End of the World. Through thoughtful attention to the primary sources, Martin re-reads the Renaissance, excavating a religious foundation at the core of even the most radical empirical thinking. Familiar icons like Ibn Khaldun, Columbus, Isaac Luria, and Francis Bacon emerge startlingly fresh and newly gleaned, agents of a history formerly untold and of a modern world made in the image of its imminent end. --Book jacket. 650 0 $a Civilization, Modern. 650 0 $a Apocalyptic literature. 650 0 $a End of the world $x History of doctrines $y Middle Ages, 600-1500. 650 0 $a Intellectual life $x History. 650 0 $a Intellectual life $x Religious aspects. 650 6 $a Littérature apocalyptique. 650 6 $a Fin du monde $x Histoire des doctrines $y 600-1500 (Moyen Ãge) 650 7 $a Apocalyptic literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00811395 650 7 $a Civilization, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863073 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Intellectual life $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01751416 648 7 $a 600-1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230121010251.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=47532004995911EDB976125E44ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
