Nature and Scripture: Demise of a Medieval Analogy. Otten, W. The Harvard Theological Review, 88(2):257–284, 1995. 00016
abstract   bibtex   
ABSTRACT: While 12th c Chartist poets like Alan of Lille glorified nature as the "speculum" or mirror of humanity, insisting upon and intensifying the theological interpretation of the created world as a source of divine knowledge, they simultaneously opened up the possibility that mankind must be perfected to become a true microcosm to the macrocosm of creation . According to Otten (following Dupre), this divide precipitated the modern dissolution of nature and grace, ultimately expressed in moderns' inability to find a place for God in the pattern of nature.
