Theology in Turmoil

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
In "Theology in Turmoil" Alan Sell examines the controversy between conservatives and liberals. The perennially important question "What is the Christian gospel?" was, writes the author, "thrust to the fore in that debate between theological conservatives and liberals which was at its height between 1890 and 1930, and of which echoes may be heard to this day. In this book I seek to trace the roots of this debate, to outline its course, and draw some lessons from it."

Evolution, Scripture, and Science

Pages : 351
Book Description
Are naturalistic and Christian creation irreconcilable ideologies? In this collection of B. B. Warfield’s writings, editors Mark A. Noll and David N. Livingstone demonstrate that theologians have not always thought so. Around the turn of the twentieth century, Princeton theologian B. B. Warfield believed that synthesizing his commitment to the scientific validity of evolution and to the inerrancy of the Bible was an attainable theological task. By drawing reasonable distinctions among Darwinism, Charles Darwin, and evolution, he was able to accept the probability of evolution while denying the implications of full-blown Darwinism. In the realm of inerrancy and evolution, Warfield’s writings exemplify civil Christian scholarship and shrewd scientific discernment. The editors have carefully gleaned Warfield’s writings on evolution and inerrancy from theological essays, book reviews, lectures, and historical papers. Editorial headnotes introduce the reader to each article’s context and content. However, the editors let Warfield’s articles speak for themselves and inform the contemporary dialogue between science and theology. Referring to the current debate, the editors concur that “One way of jolting discussion about science and theology out of the fervent, but also intellectually barren, stand-offs of recent decades is to note one of the best-kept secrets in American intellectual history: B. B. Warfield.”
Dealing with Darwin

Book Description
How was Darwin’s work discussed and debated among the same religious denomination in different locations? Using place, politics, and rhetoric as analytical tools, historical geographer David N. Livingstone investigates how religious communities sharing a Scots Presbyterian heritage engaged with Darwin and Darwinism at the turn of the twentieth century. His findings, presented as the prestigious Gifford Lectures, transform our understandings of the relationship between science and religion. The particulars of place—whether in Edinburgh, Belfast, Toronto, Princeton, or Columbia, South Carolina—shaped the response to Darwin’s theories. Were they tolerated, repudiated, or welcomed? Livingstone shows how Darwin was read in different ways, with meaning distilled from Darwin's texts depending on readers' own histories—their literary genealogies and cultural preoccupations. That the theory of evolution fared differently in different places, Livingstone writes, is "exactly what Darwin might have predicted. As the theory diffused, it diverged." Dealing with Darwin shows the profound extent to which theological debates about evolution were rooted in such matters as anxieties over control of education, the politics of race relations, the nature of local scientific traditions, and challenges to traditional cultural identity. In some settings, conciliation with the new theory, even endorsement, was possible—demonstrating that attending to the specific nature of individual communities subverts an inclination to assume a single relationship between science and religion in general, evolution and Christianity in particular. Livingstone concludes with contemporary examples to remind us that what scientists can say and what others can hear in different venues differ today just as much as they did in the past.
Geographies of Nineteenth-Century Science
Author: David N. LivingstonePublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226487296
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 538
Book Description
In Geographies of Nineteenth-Century Science, David N. Livingstone and Charles W. J. Withers gather essays that deftly navigate the spaces of science in this significant period and reveal how each is embedded in wider systems of meaning, authority, and identity. Chapters from a distinguished range of contributors explore the places of creation, the paths of knowledge transmission and reception, and the import of exchange networks at various scales. Studies range from the inspection of the places of London science, which show how different scientific sites operated different moral and epistemic economies, to the scrutiny of the ways in which the museum space of the Smithsonian Institution and the expansive space of the American West produced science and framed geographical understanding. This volume makes clear that the science of this era varied in its constitution and reputation in relation to place and personnel, in its nature by virtue of its different epistemic practices, in its audiences, and in the ways in which it was put to work.
