Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
' ... an important book: one of the best on the historical relations of science and evolution and definitely the best on religion and theology ... {Moore} discusses scientific controversies and theological debates with equal skill. no one interested in the history of science and religion should fail to give this book a careful reading.' Isis 'The Post-Darwinism Controversies is an exciting well-argued and richly informative book that both dwarfs and renders obsolete nearly everything previously written about the response made to Darwin by committed Christians in Britain and America.' Reviews in American History ' ... its arguments are bold and exciting, its insights stimulating and provocative ... Moore's commendable effort substantially alters the Victorian intellectual landscape.' Victorian Studies Read more...
