Excerpt from On the Relation Between Science and ReligionSome time afterwards, I read in the Edinburgh Advertiser, that Napoleon Buonaparte (instigated and assisted, as I used to hear, by the devil) governed France, and governed it very wickedly and that King George III., Mr Pitt, and Lord Mel ville, governed Great Britain and Ireland - not very success fully either, for I read Of rebellion, and murders, and burnings.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Relation Between Religion, and Science The attempt is made in this thesis to examine the age-long problem of the interrelationship of religion and science from a new angle, namely that of psychology considered as a biological science. There is a general recognition today that the elements common to the religions and those common to the sciences are psychological. The facts of religious experience and the facts of scientific experience are so multiform that the only place to discover a common basis is in the attitudes of consciousness giving rise to these variant concrete expressions. Furthermore there is a general recognition among psychologists that the genesis of all the attitudes, including the religious and the scientific, is localizable in the instinctive behaviors of the psycho-physical organism. It seems only fair that psychologists should recognize that those best equipped to define instinctive behavior are the biologists. On the basis of a biologically acceptable definition, a sound theory of the origin of religion and science is possible. The theory proposed is that these attitudes have their roots in behavior which, while instinctive, is multiple. In proof of the contention, reference is made to many of the rites and practices of primitive peoples which are recorded in the source books on anthropology. It is the hope of the author that this effort may contribute in some small measure to the solution of a great problem.

John Hedley Brooke offers an introduction and critical guide to one of the most fascinating and enduring issues in the development of the modern world: the relationship between scientific thought and religious belief. It is common knowledge that in western societies there have been periods of crisis when new science has threatened established authority. The trial of Galileo in 1633 and the uproar caused by Darwin's Origin of Species (1859) are two of the most famous examples. Taking account of recent scholarship in the history of science, Brooke takes a fresh look at these and similar episodes, showing that science and religion have been mutually relevant in so rich a variety of ways that no simple generalizations are possible.
Marjorie Wheeler-Barclay argues that, although the existence and significance of the science of religion has been barely visible to modern scholars of the Victorian period, it was a subject of lively and extensive debate among nineteenth-century readers and audiences. She shows how an earlier generation of scholars in Victorian Britain attempted to arrive at a dispassionate understanding of the psychological and social meanings of religious beliefs and practices—a topic not without contemporary resonance in a time when so many people feel both empowered and threatened by religious passion—and provides the kind of history she feels has been neglected. Wheeler-Barclay examines the lives and work of six scholars: Friedrich Max Müller, Edward B. Tylor, Andrew Lang, William Robertson Smith, James G. Frazer, and Jane Ellen Harrison. She illuminates their attempts to create a scholarly, non-apologetic study of religion and religions that drew upon several different disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, the classics, and Oriental studies, and relied upon contributions from those outside as well as within the universities. This intellectual enterprise—variously known as comparative religion, the history of religions, or the science of religion—was primarily focused on non-Christian religions. Yet in Wheeler-Barclay’s study of the history of this field within the broad contexts of Victorian cultural, intellectual, social, and political history, she traces the links between the emergence of the science of religion to debates about Christianity and to the history of British imperialism, the latter of which made possible the collection of so much of the ethnographic data on which the scholars relied and which legitimized exploration and conquest. Far from promoting an anti-religious or materialistic agenda, the science of religion opened up cultural space for an exploration of religion that was not constricted by the terms of contemporary conflicts over Darwin and the Bible and that made it possible to think in new and more flexible ways about the very definition of religion.
Excerpt from The Agreement Between Science and Religion We hunger to comprehend the government of the uni verse, to know Whether its ways are really just or unjust, what our relations are to it, and what ground we have for hope or fear from this stern, mysterious and unchanging power which enfolds us.

Excerpt from Christian Faith in an Age of Science In my student days I became deeply interested in the relations of science and religion, and in the tentative and provisional solution of the problems which the advance of science offers to religious thought. The sympathy I have felt with the perplexities of successive classes of students, in an experience of more than thirty years as a teacher of geology and the cognate sciences, has kept the subject ever before my mind. The thought of many years finds expression in the present volume. I have ventured to hope that the book may be useful to several classes of people. To some of my brethren in the church, and particularly in the ministry, who have a hardly adequate appreciation of the value of the contribution which science has made to the world's thought, I have hoped that these pages may bring a more generous appreciation of the results of science, and a greater tolerance of those modifications of religious belief which seem necessary to most scientific men.

Excerpt from Reconciliation of Science and Religion These papers do not represent the author's conception Of a complete and systematic discussion of the relations of science and religion. They are rather separate outcroppings Of the re sults of much study and reflection, which have correlated and consolidated themselves in the author's mind in a broad under lying system Of which no Opportunity has presented itself, as yet, for a fuller exposition. In the hope that the reasonings here presented may prove helpful to young persons engaged in the serious work of fash ioning a system of belief; corrective or strengthening to those whose beliefs are matured; and admonitory to such as have left their beliefs to the control of circumstance - to student, theologian, and scientist - to all thoughtful persons, this essay toward a good understanding between religion and science is cordially and respectfully submitted.

Excerpt from Religion and Science: A Series of Sunday Lectures on the Relation of Natural and Revealed Religion, or the Truths Revealed in Nature and Scripture MY christian friends: At the urgent request of a number of gentlemen, whose judgment I highly re spect, I have been induced to commence this evening a series Of lectures on The relation Of natural and revealed religion; or, as I might otherwise express it, The doctrines of Christian belief viewed from the stand-point of science. I wish to compare the two divine books, and to show that the God revealed in the one is the same as the God revealed in the other.

Excerpt from Religion and Science: From Galileo to Bergson Thus it is quite natural that only a few typical names should, find their places here: and often no sufficient reason may appear for one being included rather than another. For instance, in the tenth chapter, T. H. Green, F. H. Bradley, and A. J. Balfour are mentioned, While Martineau and the Cairds are passed over. Needless to say, there was no doctrinal prejudice here. Again, in the fourth chapter, Pascal is dealt with at some length, but Boehme, an equally important thinker, is ignored. And so on.
