Summary

The frontispiece shows Augustine in his study. Augustine taught that the language of Scripture was accommodated to the understanding of ordinary readers and therefore not well-suited to teach the theories of natural science. Galileo cited Augustine more than any other figure in his discussion of the Bible and science.
