The purpose of this study is to examine William Derham’s Physico-Theology and Astro-Theology in order to reveal how he influenced on the development of Christian theology and modern science in the seventeenth-century England. In particular, this article will focus on studying Derham’s view of final cause as a way to highlight the relation between science and religion in his own context. In doing so, this study will specifically permit three conclusions as follows. First, Derham actively employed modern scientific discoveries and theories to explain the natural world. Second, however, he did not lose his interest in traditional Aristotelian metaphysics and Christian religion in his treatment of natural philosophy. In particular, Derham maintained an idea of final causality and it was used for design argument as proof of God’s existence and His providential relationship to the world. Third, therefore, previous scholarship’s argument that final cause was eliminated from natural philosophy during the Scientific Revolution, and it is a hallmark of the demise of Aristotelianism and the growing separation between science and religion in the seventeenth century cannot be warranted at all at least by Derham’s Physico-Theology and Astro-Theology. Unlike previous scholarship, in these works, final cause still played an critical role in the scientific explanation of the world and modern science was understood in a way compatible with traditional metaphysics and Christian theology.
