Zusatztext This collection contributes significantly to understanding the encounter between science and religion in the period studied. Klappentext In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries! evangelicals often took their place among prominent practicing scientists! and their perspectives exerted a considerable impact on the development of modern western science. Over the last century! however! evangelical scientists have become less visible! even as the focus of evangelical engagement has shifted to political and cultural spheres. Evangelicals and Science in Historical Perspective offers the first wide-ranging survey of the history of the encounter between evangelical Protestantism and science. Comprising papers by leading historians of science and religion! this collection shows that the questions of science have been central to the history of evangelicalism in the United States! as well as in Britain and Canada. It will be an invaluable resource for understanding the historical context of contemporary political squabbles! such as the debate over the status of creation science and the teaching of evolution. Zusammenfassung Comprising papers by such distinguished scholars as John Headley Brooke, James R. Moore, Ronald Numbers, and George Marsden, this collection shows that questions of science have been central to evangelical history in the United States, as well as in Britain and Canada.
