Why is the idea of conflict between science and religion so popular
in the public imagination? The "conflict thesis"-the idea that an
inevitable and irreconcilable conflict exists between science and
religion-has long been part of the popular imagination. In The
Warfare between Science and Religion, Jeff Hardin, Ronald L.
Numbers, and Ronald A. Binzley have assembled a group of
distinguished historians who explore the origin of the thesis, its
reception, the responses it drew from various faith traditions, and
its continued prominence in public discourse. Several essays in the
book examine the personal circumstances and theological
idiosyncrasies of important intellectuals, including John William
Draper and Andrew Dickson White, who through their polemical
writings championed the conflict thesis relentlessly. Other essays
consider what the thesis meant to different religious communities,
including evangelicals, liberal Protestants, Roman Catholics,
Eastern Orthodox Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Finally, essays
both historical and sociological explore the place of the conflict
thesis in popular culture and intellectual discourse today. Based
on original research and written in an accessible style, the essays
in The Warfare between Science and Religion take an
interdisciplinary approach to question the historical relationship
between science and religion. This volume, which brings much-needed
perspective to an often bitter controversy, will appeal to scholars
and students of the histories of science and religion, sociology,
and philosophy. Contributors: Thomas H. Aechtner, Ronald A.

Jeff Hardin's No Other Kind of World explores our "need to witness
miracles" within a world that too often favors "soapbox
diatribes/or mournful tones." Perhaps we no longer recognize our
own faces, unaware of what remains hidden inside, or just
underneath, our landscapes or words. We wander an immeasurable
world, one in which the Self attempts to know what knowing is, and
calls out to others, searching for survivors this side of the
millennium. Despite new threats of "a coming Inquisition," Hardin
"charts a course toward mercy," seeking "the kind of
understanding/that comes when two or more are gathered. IN THE PARK
Seven boys seem to think they're birds. They caw and hoot, running
beneath a stretch of thinned-out trees. They raise their arms to
steer themselves toward each other and through this maze of limbs
dipped low. Every minute growing louder seems to lessen. And we
talk of a need to witness miracles, everyone flying so close at
each other until the last possible moment, then veering . . .
