This paper offers a brief analysis of Blaise Pascal’s epistemological interdisciplinary strategy for his apologetic promotion of the Christian message. His proposal is first compared and contrasted with the one defined by Michael Buckley as the “Newtonian Settlement,” and then it is interpreted as a sui generis theology of nature. Finally, a “Pascalian” hermeneutics of some classical issues concerning natural theology and metaphysics in the context of a theology of nature is outlined
