SCIENCE & RELIGION:
A Synthesis that Failed

A review by Thomas Dixon

Reconciling Science and Religion The Debate in Early-Twentieth-Century Britain
Peter J. Bowler
University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 2001. 493 pp. $40, £24. ISBN 0-226-06858-7.

In contrast to the clash between evolution and fundamentalism in the United States, Bowler finds conservative scientists and liberal theologians in Britain made a concerted effort to promote a unified perspective on humans' place in the world.
The author is at Churchill College, Cambridge, CB3 0DS, UK, and in the Faculty of Divinity, Cambridge, CB3 9BS, UK. E-mail: tmd10{at}cam.ac.uk
