Thanks for asking Allen, I've been wondering the same thing and would
appreciate some suggestions. I've also been looking for later 18th and
early 19th century texts that examine science/religion issues that might be
somewhat less well known (ie. not Hugh miller, Gray, Aggasiz, etc..).
Maybe Ted Davis might have a list of recommended literature from this time
period? Joel

Subject: Draper and White
Back in the late 1800s, as has been mentioned in some recent discussion
here, there were a couple of books by Draper and White that advanced the
"warfare" model between science and Christianity. Those on this list who
seem to know what they are talking about say that both books are distorted
and unreliable, and I see allusions to that judgment in other books such as
Barbour's tome.
My question is whether there is some book, preferably by a reputable
academic scholar, that the history experts on this list could recommend for
pointing out at length the shortcomings of these 2 books?
