Summary
The influence of Protestantism on natural science is nebulous and difficult to determine. First of all, one should bear in mind that Protestantism did not exist as a unified set of beliefs in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Lutherans, the Reformed, and the Anabaptists were all technically Protestant, yet their differences with each other were as great as the differences of each with the Church of Rome. The situation in England was even more complex. Henry VIII’s reformation in the 1530s had not been “Protestant” but dynastic, anticlerical, and national in character.
