History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom
History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom, published in two volumes in 1896, is Andrew Dickson White's account of how religious authorities resisted scientific discoveries over many centuries. White, co-founder and first president of Cornell University, dedicated it to Ezra Cornell and took his examples from cosmology and the shape of the Earth, astronomy and Galileo, geology and the antiquity of man, evolution, meteorology, chemistry, medicine and hygiene, insanity and demonic possession, philology after Babel, comparative mythology, economics and biblical criticism. His conflict thesis was widely influential, though later historians have criticized it as oversimplified. This edition combines both volumes in one. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
