Summary/Abstract: N. Steinhardt had a continuous preoccupation with regard to the relation between theology and science. He had two major qualities: the curiosity of the scientist and the special faith of a converted Jew. We’re dealing here with an excellent mediator between these two fi elds. What Steinhardt tells us through his mediation between science and theology helps us better understand the world that was given to us. He establishes a dialogue between different areas, apparently divergent, that have different lengths and types of development, but which offer surprising results when seen as teleological ways to knowledge and faith. The world of science is actually and rightfully a part of God’s world. Theologians and Scientists say this more and more often. N. Steinhardt is, from this perspective, an illustrious forerunner and an example that’s worth being followed. The essays of N. Steinhardt are extremely generous with regard to the dialogue between theology and science. When you don’t expect at all or when you expect less, a reference to a chemical formula, to a theory from physics or mathematics emerges. N. Steinhardt is interested in all that can support, from a scientifi c perspective, the faith in God
