Nonetheless, as the subtitle of the book conveys, this is the idea that wouldn't die. [\u003ci\u003eThe Warfare between Science and Religion\u003c\/i\u003e] brings together a group of historian myth-busters who have been thinking about this question . . . One of the virtues of this book is that it also looks at science and religion interactions in Islam and Judaism as well as Christianity.\u003cbr\u003e—Peter Harrison and Charles J. Styles, \u003ci\u003eFive Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe history of the assertion that science and religion are inevitably in conflict is dominated by two late nineteenth-century narratives; John William Draper's \u003ci\u003eHistory of the Conflict between Religion and Science\u003c\/i\u003e (1874) and Andrew Dickson White's \u003ci\u003eA History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom\u003c\/i\u003e (1896). The present very welcome volume contains seventeen essays that examine these classic texts, their reception by contemporaries and the subsequent history of the conflict thesis.\u003cbr\u003e—Geoffrey Cantor, University of Leeds, \u003ci\u003eBritish Journal for the History of Science\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe questions whether, why, and to what extent science and religion are in conflict has been one of the abiding motifs of Western culture. This collection by an international group of scholars covers the subject from a rich variety of angles . . . Those who are interested in the science-and-religion debate, and the impact of science as a cultural force, will find this book a fascinating read.\u003cbr\u003e—Peter Forster, \u003ci\u003eChurch Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessible, historically illuminating, meticulous.\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eQuarterly Review of Biology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe focus of this outstanding collection that criticizes the idea of conflict between science and religion, represents the historian John Hedley Brooke's call for attention to the complexities of history . . . The idea of warfare between science and religion largely deserves burial, but as these essays show, the sentiments for conflicts endure.\u003cbr\u003e—Paul J.
