Realist influence, the conservative Presbyterianism headquartered
there is an ideal choice for a case study in the American impact of

synthesis of Protestant religion and Newtonian science, were
afforded with additional means of elaborating a doxological version
of natural science and of defending it against naturalism and other
enemies of Christian faith.
