Originally published in 1995, The Antievolution Pamphlets of Harry
Rimmer is the sixth volume in the series, Creationism in Twentieth
Century America. The volume brings together original sources from
the prominent evangelist and pastor Harry Rimmer. The consortium of
pamphlets in this volume detail Rimmer’s antievolutionist
sentiments, a notion which characterized his early writings. The
pamphlets detail Rimmer’s rhetoric on evolution and science from
the early part of the 20th century as he travelled across America
to disseminate his writings. The works in this volume address
Rimmer’s polemic on the danger posed by modern science and the
consequential disassociation with religion. While Rimmer did not
discount science itself, he argued for, what he termed, ‘true
science’, claiming that modern science was based only in
scientific opinion and not fact. As a self-proclaimed scientist,
these writings take a unique view of the relationship between
religion and science from this period through Rimmer’s dual
nature as both scientist and pastor. This volume will be of great
interest to historians of natural history, science and religion.

Published in 1686, this work attacked prevailing notions of the natural world that depicted "Nature" as a wise, benevolent and purposeful being. It represents one of the subtlest statements concerning the issues raised by the mechanical philosophy that emerged from the Scientific Revolution. This volume presents the first modern edition of the complete text, together with a historical introduction, a chronology of Boyle's life and notes on further reading.
In this book, published in 1686, the scientist Robert Boyle
(1627-91) attacked prevailing notions of the natural world which
depicted 'Nature' as a wise, benevolent and purposeful being.
Boyle, one of the leading mechanical philosophers of his day,
believed that the world was best understood as a vast, impersonal
machine, fashioned by an infinite, personal God. In this cogent
treatise, he drew on his scientific findings, his knowledge of
contemporary medicine and his deep reflection on theological and
philosophical issues, arguing that it was inappropriate both
theologically and scientifically to speak of Nature as if it had a
mind of its own: instead, the only true efficient causes of things
were the properties and powers given to matter by God. As such, A
Free Enquiry into the Vulgarly Received Notion of Nature represents
one of the subtlest statements concerning the philosophical issues
raised by the mechanical philosophy to emerge from the period of
the scientific revolution.
