Given the powerful and forthright title of Andrew Dickson White's
classic study, it is best to make clear his own sense of the whole
as given in the original 1896 edition: "My conviction is that
science, though it has evidently conquered dogmatic theology based
on biblical texts and ancient modes of thought, will go hand in
hand with religion, and that although theological control will
continue to diminish, religion as seen in the recognition of a
'power in the universe, not ourselves, which makes for
righteousness' and in the love of God and of our neighbor, will
steadily grow stronger and stronger, not only in the American
institutions of learning, but in the world at large." White began
to assemble his magnum opus, a two volume work first published in
1896 as A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in
Christendom. In correspondence he wrote that he intended the work
to stake out a position between such religious orthodoxy as John
Henry Newman's on one side and such secular scoffing as Robert
Ingersoll's on the other. Historian Paul Carter declared that this
book did as much as any other published work "toward routing
orthodoxy in the name of science." Insofar as science and religion
came to be widely viewed as enemies, with science holding the moral
high ground, White inadvertently, became one of the most effective
and influential advocates for unbelief.
