The Post-Darwinian Controversies offers an original interpretation
of Protestant responses to Darwin after 1870, viewing them in a
transatlantic perspective and as a constitutive part of the history
of post-Darwinian evolutionary thought. The impact of evolutionary
theory on the religious consciousness of the nineteenth century has
commonly been seen in terms of a 'conflict' or 'warfare' between
science and theology. Dr. Moore's account begins by discussing the
polemical origins and baneful effects of the 'military metaphor',
and this leads to a revised view of the controversies based on an
analysis of the underlying intellectual struggle to come to terms
with Darwin. The middle section of the book distinguishes the
'Darwinism' of Darwin himself amid the main currents of
post-Darwinian evolutionary thought, and is followed by chapters
which examine the responses to Darwin of twenty-eight Christian
controversialists, tracing the philosophical and theological
lineage of their views. The paradox that emerges - that Darwin's
theory was accepted in substance only by those whose theology was
distinctly orthodox theology and of other evolutionary theories
with liberal and romantic theological speculation.
