The intelligibility of the universe has been an important theme in the Western Christian intellectual tradition from the earliest centuries of Christianity. You'll find it in the writings of major figures, such as Aquinas and Augustine of Hippo, and many others besides. That being said, I certainly don't mean to downplay Kepler's achievements and contributions.

Whitehead (in Science and the Modern World) considered the contribution of medievalism (to science) was something we take for granted - the 'inexpugnable belief that every detailed occurrence can be correlated with its antecedents in a perfectly definite manner'.
