In this paper, we study the existing relations between science and religion in the views of Ian Barbour, Peters and Alister McGrath (with a particular focus on 19th, 20th and 21st centuries). It is interesting to note that while McGrath supports the dialogical model; Peters, on the other hand, argues for the hypothetical agreement model, and finally we have Barbour who favors the correlational model. Then we attempt to present these respective models in relation to these thinkers and explore also their respective differences and similarities. We have tried to present these models in a diagramic format. Finally, we have put forward a framework in regard to these different models of interactions between science and religion in the Middle Ages and 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
