This is a dissertation about the relationship between science and religion in America in the first half of the nineteenth century. During this period, sometimes called "the Romantic era," American Protestants became increasingly fascinated by the sciences. They developed a sophisticated "natural theology" based on the premise that nature contains clear, compelling evidence of God's existence and perfections. The Protestant believed that in order to do natural theology he had to be an "empiricist." Like Francis Bacon in the seventeenth century, he had to observe carefully the facts of nature, always avoiding useless speculation or "hypotheses." Secondly, a natural theologian had to be a scientist. He had to understand the natural data and the processes which he observed. Natural theology was a system in which Christian theology and empirical science merged.
