Before the advent of radio, conceptions of the relationship between science and religion circulated through periodicals, journals, and books, influencing the worldviews of intellectuals and a wider public. In this volume, historians of science and religion examine that relationship through diverse mediums, geographic contexts, and religious traditions. Spanning within and beyond Europe and North America, chapters emphasize underexamined regions―New Zealand, Australia, India, Argentina, Sri Lanka, Egypt, and the Ottoman Empire―and major religions of the world, including Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Islam; interactions between those traditions; as well as atheism, monism, and agnosticism. As they focus on evolution and human origins, contributors draw attention to European scientists other than Darwin who played a significant role in the dissemination of evolutionary ideas; for some, those ideas provided the key to understanding every aspect of human culture, including religion. They also highlight central figures in national contexts, many of whom were not scientists, who appropriated scientific theories for their own purposes. Taking a local, national, transnational, and global approach to the study of science and religion, this volume begins to capture the complexity of cultural engagement with evolution and religion in the long nineteenth century.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The heterogeneity of the chapters and approaches taken by the authors is one of this volume’s strengths, and the thematic organization allows for broad geographic and religious coverage as well as innovative discussions of individuals and intellectual movements that might be lost or obscured in a more traditional account of reception and transmission limited to a specific national or doctrinal context. ― Isis

This is an outstanding volume. Each essay is a high quality, stand-alone piece, but the editors have worked hard to also make them mutually supporting and enriching. Indeed, this holds together as a unitary book in a way that is rare for collected editions. It is methodologically thought provoking and historiographically fertile. This will be a foundational text for a generation of work. ― Journal of Modern History

In asking us to rethink the linear historiography of science and religion, the volume can be seen as a pioneering effort in decolonizing ‘science and religion’ as a field. This magisterial volume, which has rich and insightful chapters by historians of science who shaped the field . . . will certainly have a deep impact on science and religion scholarship in the coming years and will be immensely useful to scholars in the history of science, STS, religious studies and history of ideas. ― British Journal for the History of Science

This globe-spanning history is set to change our understanding of the relationship between science and religion in the nineteenth century. Moving far beyond the dominant narrative centered on Charles Darwin and Christianity, the authors challenge us to recognize the significance of transnational connections in transforming both evolutionary theories and religious traditions around the world. -- James Poskett, University of Warwick

By exploring the diverse, fluid, and locally-specific responses to evolution over the long nineteenth century, the contributors to this edited volume provide a superb platform that future scholars can build upon when creating a diverse and holistic global history of science and religion. ― H-Net Reviews
