Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This fascinating text, first published in 1875, is a key early
example of the conflict thesis. This theory expounds the premise of
an intrinsic conflict between science and religion, and is
archetypal of one aspect of this late-Victorian debate. Draper
asserts that science has reached a point where its threat to
traditional teachings can no longer be ignored, and he offers this
history as a means to understanding both the interaction between
religion and science and their perpetual opposition. He covers
examples of this relationship, from Christianity's origins to the
then contemporary crisis of church division and the Prussian
Austrian war, and also examines in turn what both Christianity and
science have done for modern civilisation. Discussions of the
central points of crossover and change in the history of science
and Christianity lead to the conclusion that for religion to
survive it must accept fact and reason.
