History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science

Book •
John William Draper's "History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science" is a controversial work that alleges a persistent conflict between religion and science, particularly targeting the Catholic Church.

Draper's biased historiography misrepresents events and selectively uses quotes to support his claims.

The book's success stemmed from the anti-Catholic sentiment prevalent in 19th-century America.

Despite its inaccuracies, it remains influential, highlighting the persistence of misconceptions about the relationship between faith and science.

The book's impact underscores the need for careful historical analysis and open dialogue.
