The legitimacy of the concept of Christian scholarship has often been denied, especially in connection with the more exact sciences such as physics, mathematics and statistics. In this article it is argued that in accordance with modern philosophies of science, the various scientific disciplines should he viewed within a coherently ranging series of ever more encompassing contexts. This provides a view of science very different from the so called “standard view of science” and moreover amenable to a Christian approach of science. Various contexts of statistical science is discussed and their coherence with the statistical subject matter indicated. The question about the role of the Bible in this approach is considered.
