“The Bible as Killer App: Reading Scripture in the Digital Age”
Timothy Beal, Case Western University Department of Religious Studies
The Bible was originally written in three languages: Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. The Old Testament was mostly written in Hebrew with some portions in Aramaic, while the New Testament was written in Greek. Its influence on mathematics and physics shaped the modern world.
One of the earliest examples of its influence on science can be seen in the work of the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, whose “Elements” is one of the most important works in the history of mathematics. Euclid’s work was heavily influenced by the Pythagorean school of thought, which had strong ties to the Greek religious traditions of the time.
In the Middle Ages, Christian scholars such as Thomas Aquinas and Roger Bacon began to apply mathematical principles to theology, which helped to establish a new tradition of inquiry that became known as Scholasticism. This tradition, which emphasized the use of reason and logic to explore theological questions, had a profound impact on the development of mathematics and science in Western Europe.
During the Renaissance, Christian thinkers such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Johannes Kepler made important advances in mathematics and astronomy, which were driven in part by their desire to understand the nature of God’s creation. Copernicus’s heliocentric model of the solar system, for example, was based on mathematical calculations that were informed by his theological beliefs.
In more recent times, Christian mathematicians have continued to make significant contributions to the field. For example, the 19th-century mathematician George Boole, who was a devout Anglican, developed a new system of algebra that laid the groundwork for the development of computer science.
