Abstract
This article argues that the Protestant Reformation proved hugely important for the way natural philosophy, medicine and astronomy was undertaken in the early modern world. The apocalyptic urgency inherent in early Protestantism inspired and drove the growing preoccupation of early modern Protestant scholars with natural philosophy and the natural world and provided the religious rationale for particular inquiries into nature.
