{"product_id":"science-and-salvation-aileen-fyfe-9780226276489","title":"Science and Salvation: Evangelical Popular Science Publishing in Victorian Britain","description":"Threatened by the proliferation of cheap, mass-produced publications, the Religious Tract Society issued a series of publications on popular science during the 1840s. The books were intended to counter the developing notion that science and faith were mutually exclusive, and the Society's authors employed a full repertoire of evangelical techniques-low prices, simple language, carefully structured narratives-to convert their readers. The application of such techniques to popular science resulted in one of the most widely available sources of information on the sciences in the Victorian era. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A fascinating study of the tenuous relationship between science and religion in evangelical publishing, \u003ci\u003eScience and Salvation\u003c\/i\u003e examines questions of practice and faith from a fresh perspective. Rather than highlighting works by expert men of science, Aileen Fyfe instead considers a group of relatively undistinguished authors who used thinly veiled Christian rhetoric to educate first, but to convert as well. This important volume is destined to become essential reading for historians of science, religion, and publishing alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aileen Fyfe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226276481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226276489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.84h x 6.56w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 870","brand":"Aileen Fyfe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46617844220159,"sku":"9780226276489","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e44eb6c-e84a-44f5-857e-b5d78e43b62c.jpg?v=1740068482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/science-and-salvation-aileen-fyfe-9780226276489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
