The Religion and Science Debate
Eighty-one years after America witnessed the Scopes trial over the teaching of evolution in public schools, the debate between science and religion continues. In this book scholars from a variety of disciplines—sociology, history, science, and theology—provide new insights into the contemporary dialogue as well as some perspective suggestions for delineating the responsibilities of both the scientific and religious spheres. Why does the tension b…
Science, Eastern Orthodoxy, and World Religions
The history of Orthodoxy and science invites contrasts with other religious traditions. In contradistinction to the Latin West, for example, Eastern Orthodoxy throughout its history embraced the “pagan” scientific achievements of ancient Greece. Also unlike in the West, where ecclesiastical institutions often supported scientific activities, scholars in the East—in both the Byzantine and Ottoman periods— relied primarily on temporal sources to su…

The Most Important Biblical Discovery of Our Time
In 1650 the distinguished church historian Archbishop James Ussher of Ireland announced his meticulously calculated time of the Creation: early Saturday evening, 22 October 4004 B.C.E., a date immortalized in the margins of countless Bibles for nearly three centuries. Among evangelical Protestants who believed in the inerrancy of Scripture this date came to mark the beginning of human history. For some believers it remained a landmark until the l…

To medically trained scholars who founded field, medical involved primarily study of what physicians, usually famous ones, did and thought.

Beyond War and Peace
On a December evening in 1869, with memories of civil war still fresh in their minds, a large audience gathered in the great hall of Cooper Union in New York City to hear about another conflict, still taking its toll-"with battles fiercer, with sieges more persistent, with strategy more vigorous than in any of the comparatively petty warfares of Alexander, or Caesar, or Napoleon." Although waged with pens rather than swords, and for minds rather …

Getting Back--And Down--To Basics
Great books are those which change the way we see the world, by answering questions we had not thought to ask. Ronald L. Numbers's recent book Praphetess of Health, on the other hand, only asks questions which we had not previously answered: How do you make Graham Gems? What was hydrotherapy? Who invented the corn flake and why? What was the role of the Bloomer costume in dress reform? And the big one: what were the sources of Ellen White's healt…

The Specter of Progressive Medicine
It is no longer sufficient to welcome a new book in the history of medicine by noting that it does more than simply chronicle the stately march of medical progress. While some work continues to celebrate diagnostic and therapeutic triumphs and to discover the origins of modern medical practices ever deeper in the past, we are fortunate that this is now only a minor theme in serious medical history. It is a theme that both works under review avoid…
