Description: Most people, when they think about the purported conflict between science and religion, would most likely think first of evangelical Protestantism. Because of the prominent place evolution versus creationism - and such events as the Scopes Trial - has had in the debates over science and religion, many people think of evangelicals as hostile to science. As with other volumes in the Greenwood Guides to Science and Religion series, this work addresses the more complex interworkings between modern science and evangelical Christianity. Creationism will feature prominently, of course, but there will be other chapters covering other aspects of this relationship - geology, environmental issues, and technology. Evangelicals and Science provides a thorough overview of the history of the relationship between these two dominant forces in public life, including chapters on:
Evangelicals, the Bible and Science
Evangelicals and Geology from 1780 to 1859
The Rise of Creationism - and evangelical alternatives to Creationism
Modern Science and the evangelicals today
Evangelicals, environment, genetic modification, technology and other ethical issues The volume includes primary source documents to give readers a flavor of the writings of evangelicals on science, a timeline, and an annotated bibliography.
