Reviews

The book is based on sound, careful, and original scholarship. . . . It is most highly recommended to intellectual historians concerned with the mutual interactions between science and religion.--Quarterly Review of Biology One of the better offerings dealing with Darwin and modern thought. . . . This book should do much to call a halt to the unwholesome tendency to canonize Darwin and to form a cult of Darwinism.--America An excellent account of 'the modern world view' on three important issues: (1) the problem of the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, (2) the problem of 'natural theology, ' . . . and (3) the problem of social evolution. This is intellectual history at a very high level of scholarship.--American Journal of Sociology
