History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom, Volume Two

by Andrew Dickson White

Andrew Dickson White's *History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom* is a two-volume work that traces the historical relationship between scientific inquiry and religious authority within Christianity. White argues that the history of science is marked by a struggle for intellectual freedom, where scientific discoveries often faced opposition from established religious institutions. He analyzes various historical periods, highlighting instances where theological doctrines clashed with scientific advancements, leading to persecution and suppression of scientific ideas. The book explores the evolution of this conflict, demonstrating how science gradually gained autonomy from religious control. White's work, however, has been subject to scrutiny by modern historians who criticize its historical accuracy and argue that it presents a biased perspective. Despite the controversy, the book remains a significant contribution to the study of the history of science and its relationship with religion.
