Overview
My hope is to aid--even if it be but a little--in the gradual and healthful dissolving away of this mass of unreason, that the stream of religion pure and undefiled may flow on broad and clear, a blessing to humanity.
It reminds the reader of just how far we have advanced in our understandings of the relationships among religion, science, technology, and theology. --Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith The Visible Universe Theological Teachings Regarding The Animals And Man, Of An Evolution In Animated Nature The Final Effort Of Theology Chapter II.

Author Information
Andrew D. White (1832-1918), historian, diplomat, and first president of Cornell University, advocated such progressive causes as equal rights for women and the removal of religious sectarianism from higher education. In this important work, which spawned a great deal of controversy at its appearance, White exhaustively documents the battle between science and religion in matters of creation versus evolution, the geocentric versus the heliocentric universe, and the fall of man versus anthropology. The struggle of science over outmoded medieval concepts is still emerging. Even a century after its publication, White's great work has much to teach us about the dangerous effects of religious doctrinalism on education and moral growth.
