Un gigante de la ciencia, un devoto católico romano, un genio que no dudó en enfrentarse a su Iglesia y refutarla para no dar marcha atrás en sus conocimientos, incluso aceptando la posibilidad de su martirio. Galileo cambio el mundo, pero su historia de conflictos, de debate religioso interno, de polemica cientifica, de represion y martirio tambien puede cambiar nuestras mentes. Este libro reune una biografia y una exploracion historica de un tiempo donde religion y conocimiento cientifico estaban profundamente ligados y, logicamente, todo podia acabar en la denuncia de una herejia. Pero, mientras siempre se ha considerado el choque entre la Iglesia y Galileo como algo inevitable, White ha introducido un giro novedoso con la sugerencia de una conspiracion. Evidencias recientes descubiertas en el propio Vaticano nos presentan ahora fuertes interrogantes frente a las razones habitualmente aceptadas para su proceso inquisitorial. Argumenta White que no fue la posicion cientifica la verdadera causa de su caso, sino ideas de otra naturaleza mucho mas peligrosas para la Iglesia de aquel momento. Esta novedosa biografia demuestra por que Galileo fue, y sigue siendo a pesar de los siglos, un personaje problematico, hasta el punto de que el actual papa, Joseph Ratzinger, en su cardenalato se sintiera todavia impelido a declarar el proceso contra el padre de la ciencia como "razonable y justo".
