I'm partway through a book called "The Closing of the Western Mind" by Charles Freeman (Knopf 2003 or Heinemann 2002). Deals exactly with that subject. Interesting. Deals with the development of Christian thought via Zoroastrianism and Plato. I'm sure any of you interested in the influence of culture on science would find it fascinating.
