Questions:
What were the various causes of the Scientific Revolution?
Which developments of the Scientific Revolution most challenged church doctrine and how? What was the church's response?
Was the Scientific Revolution truly revolutionary? How might we consider Copernicus's decision not to publish his work until his death, or Galileo's decision to retract his support of the Copernican theory help us answer this question?
