In the late nineteenth century, Andrew Dickson White’s (1832–1918) A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom helped popularize the “conflict thesis”—the idea that science and Christianity are locked in a state of perpetual conflict. First published in 1896, this two-volume work was the culmination of his lifelong research, publications, and lectures on this supposed conflict. Modern historians have shown that White’s work was based on misleading, distorted, and even fabricated historical evidence, and today, most historians of science reject the conflict thesis. This two-volume set is bound in matching red cloth and contains various unsigned, handwritten quotes from the book on the endpapers and pastedowns.
