A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom

A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom is a book written by Andrew Dickson White. It explores the relationship between science and religion throughout history, specifically within the context of Christianity. White argues that there has been a long-standing conflict between scientific inquiry and religious dogma, and that this conflict has hindered scientific progress throughout history. He traces the roots of this conflict back to the early days of Christianity, when religious leaders often persecuted scientists and sought to suppress their discoveries. White also examines the ways in which this conflict has played out in different historical periods, from the Middle Ages to the modern era. He argues that while there have been periods of cooperation and collaboration between science and religion, these have been the exception rather than the rule. Overall, A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the complex relationship between science and religion in Western history.1896.
