Description
A significant contribution to the history of American religion and popular culture as well as the long-standing disputes over science and religion in the American context. One of the great virtues of this work is that its author is eminently fair in his treatment of the book's most notable figures, drawing the reader's attention to both their academic accomplishments and shortcomings. Because the public disputes over evolution in the American context have often been marked by vitriol and ridicule, with a tendency to label and dismiss, Howell's presentation is a breath of fresh air. There is simply not a better historical account of the modern Intelligent Design movement. -- Francis J. Beckwith, Professor of Philosophy and Church-State Studies, Baylor University.
