Publisher Synopsis
This collection contributes significantly to understanding the encounter between science and religion in the period studied. * American Historical Review 18/04/2002 * The essays succeed brilliantly in their essential purpose of demonstrating that the many encounters between Evangelicals and science, far fom being a mere ideological Punch and Judy show, are deserving of the most careful investigation from historians and theologians alike. * Theology * Has much to say to historians of science ... these essays are all fascinating ... this is a beginning rather than an ending, and for making that start, it is to be commended. * British Journal for the History of Science * Here is a book to savour and enjoy. It is a scholarly volume, pleasingly produced. * Brethren Archivists & Historians Network Review * We give a warm recommendation to a scholarly and stimulating book. * Brethren Archivists & Historians Network Review * Read more...
