Explore the Berlin debate on evolution and faith, with clear, historical arguments and century-old questions.

This book presents the full report of lectures given in February 1907, along with the evening discussions that followed. It surveys what evolution means for science and for Christian belief, and it captures a lively exchange among scientists and theologians of the time. The author, Erich Wasmann, guides readers through core questions about the value of evolution, the nature of matter and life, and the descent of man, while presenting both sides of the debate in a thoughtful, accessible way.
