In 1884 the long-running annual series of Bampton Lectures at the
University of Oxford was given by Frederick Temple, at that time
Bishop of Exeter. He had earlier been a prominent educational
reformer, headmaster at Rugby School and chaplain to Queen
Victoria, and he later rose to become Archbishop of Canterbury.
This book contains his Bampton Lectures on The Relations between
Religion and Science - perhaps the most passionately debated topic
of that time. He discusses the apparent conflict between scientific
and religious beliefs on various topics including free will,
knowledge, evolution, and supernatural power, but concludes that
science and religion are not foes, but counterparts, and that
neither is complete without the other. His contribution in this
area is of lasting importance in the history and philosophy of
science.

Comprising seven essays by learned contributors and controversially
advocating a rationalist Christianity, this work became a sensation
upon publication in 1860. Frederick Temple (1821 1902), later
Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote on the cultural contributions of
non-Christians; Roland Williams (1817 70), Professor of Hebrew at
Lampeter, questioned Old Testament prophesies; Baden Powell (1796
1850), Oxford Professor of Geometry, challenged belief in miracles
and embraced Darwinism; Henry Bristow Wilson (1803 88) questioned
literal biblical history; the only lay contributor, Egyptologist
Charles Wycliffe Goodwin (1817 78), embraced geology; Mark Pattison
(1813 84), tutor at Lincoln College, wrote on the history of
rationalist theology; and Benjamin Jowett (1817 93), Oxford
Professor of Greek, advocated a historical reading of the Bible.
Wilson and Williams were later found guilty of heresy by a Church
court, though this was overturned on appeal. For readers interested
in the theological controversies of the Victorian era, these essays
remain invaluable.
