    I would add to Michael's list David N. Livingstone, Darwin's Forgotten
    Defenders: The Encounter Between Evangelical Theology and Evolutionary
    Thought (Eerdmans/Scottish Academic Press, 1987) and James R. Moore, The
    Post-Darwinian Controversies: A study of the Protestant struggle to come
    to terms with Darwin in Great Britain and America, 1870-1900 (Cambridge,
    1979).

    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?
