A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom V2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162630939)

""A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom V2"" is a comprehensive account of the conflict between science and theology in Christian history. Written by Andrew Dickson White, the book explores the historical tensions between scientific inquiry and religious dogma, from the time of the ancient Greeks to the modern era. In this second volume, White examines the period from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, when scientific discoveries and new philosophical ideas challenged traditional religious beliefs. He discusses the work of key figures such as Galileo, Descartes, and Newton, and the ways in which their ideas clashed with religious doctrine. The book also delves into the political and social implications of this conflict, including the role of the Catholic Church in suppressing scientific inquiry and the impact of the Protestant Reformation on scientific thought. With its detailed analysis and engaging prose, ""A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom V2"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science, religion, and intellectual thought in Western civilization.1896. Vol. 2 of a 2 vol. set. The author's purpose is to aid in letting the light of historical truth into that decaying mass of outworn thought which attaches the modern world to mediaeval conceptions of Christianity and which still lingers among us, a most serious barrier to religion and morals and a menace to the whole normal evolution of society.
