How do science and religion interact? This study examines the ways
in which two minorities in Britain - the Quaker and Anglo-Jewish
communities - engaged with science. Drawing on a wealth of
documentary material, much of which has not been analysed by
previous historians, Geoffrey Cantor charts the participation of
Quakers and Jews in many different aspects of science: scientific
research, science education, science-related careers, and
scientific institutions. The responses of both communities to the
challenge of modernity posed by innovative scientific theories,
such as the Newtonian worldview and Darwin's theory of evolution,
are of central interest.
