Thomas Rawson Birks was a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge and
a senior professor of philosophy. This book was first published in
1872, the year of his appointment to the prestigious Knightbridge
Professorship. As an active Anglican clergyman, Birks engaged
energetically in many heated theological controversies. In the
Victorian debates on the relationship between religion and science
he took a strongly anti-Darwinian stance, declaring that the theory
of evolution contradicted the doctrine of creation and could not
explain the mystery of life. In other areas, however, he argued
that the findings of science confirmed the glory of God, since 'the
telescope reveals the grandeur and vastness of the starry worlds'
and 'the microscope discovers marks of design and beauty' which are
evidence of a supreme designer. His influential evangelical views
are expressed in this book, which argues for scripture as the
ultimate key to the mystery of existence.
