Originally published in 1988, Jon Roberts's book provided the first
comprehensive analytical overview of public dialogue among
nineteenth-century American Protestant intellectuals who struggled
with the theory of organic evolution. Before the publication of
Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859, most American Protestant
intellectuals valued science, especially natural history, for
supplying data that appeared to be invaluable for defending many
major tenets of the Christian worldview. Arguments over the
scientific merits of Darwin's theory gave way to discussions of its
theological implications. Roberts's book reconstructs the course of
that conversation from 1875 to 1900.
