Unique Elements Historical Context Detailed 19th Century Historical Map A Theological Literary Classic by White A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom by American author Andrew Dickson White is a book of religious philosophy first published in 1896 in the United States. Sneak Peak As a rule, both in Protestant and Catholic countries instruction in chemistry and physics was for a long time discouraged by Church authorities, and, when its suppression was no longer possible, great pains were taken to subordinate it to instruction supposed to be more fully in accordance with the older methods of theological reasoning. I have now presented in outline the more direct and open struggle of the physical sciences with theology, mainly as an exterior foe. We will next consider their warfare with the same foe in its more subtle form, mainly as a vitiating and sterilizing principle in science itself. Synopsis In this work, White asserts the conflict thesis of science being against dogmatic theology. Initially less popular than John William Draper’s History of the Conflict between Religion and Science (1874), White’s book became an influential text in the 19th century on the relationship between religion and science. White’s conflict thesis has been widely rejected among contemporary historians of science. The warfare depiction remains a popular view among critics of religion.
