First published in 1951, Genesis and Geology describes the background of social and theological ideas and the progress of scientific researches that, between them, produced the religious difficulties that afflicted the development of science in early industrial England. The book makes clear that the furor over On the Origin of Species was nothing new: earlier discoveries in science, particularly geology, had presented major challenges, not only to the literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis, but even more seriously to the traditional idea that Providence controls the order of nature with an eye to fulfilling divine purpose.A new Foreword by Nicolaas Rupke places this book in the context of the last fortyfive years of scholarship in the social history of evolutionary thought. Everyone interested in the history of modern science, in ideas, and in nineteenthcentury England will want to read this book.
