Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this article is to investigate the methodology of Bernhard Pünjer’s theology in relationship to Johann Zöllner’s astronomy. These two scholars lived in the 19th century, in which several kinds of science spectacu- larly developed. How did Pünjer react to the growth of science, for instance to Zöllner’s idea of astronomy? The paper presents Pünjer’s position as contra- sted with Zöllner’s main point of view.
