Abstract
THERE has been of late a recrudescence of interest in the relations between science and religion, and the present book is a solid and important contribution to the study of this question, so fundamental for every thinking man. The book is remarkable also as showing how great a change has taken place in the attitude both of the theologian and of the scientific man towards this ever-present problem. The hearty days are gone when Huxley gave battle to the bishops, and fierce controversy raged through the pages of the serious reviews. In this book the spirit of antagonism is gone, and there is an earnest seeking after not compromise, but reconciliation. The pages breathe a sweet reasonableness, and one almost longs—in unregenerate moments—for a little clashing of swords.
