Twelve Lectures On The Connection Between Science And Revealed Religion by Nicholas Patrick Wiseman surveys the relationship between scientific inquiry and Christian evidences in a systematic, historical manner. Wiseman traces the emergence of ethnography and comparative philology, from early vocabularies collected by travelers and missionaries to the methods of Leibnitz, Hervas, Catherine II, Adelung, and their successors. He argues that languages cohere into large families (Indo-European, Semitic, Malayo-Polynesian) and that such groupings corroborate biblical accounts of mankind’s dispersion in Genesis. The lectures then move to the natural sciences, showing how geology, zoology, and anatomy, when rightly understood, harmonize with revelation and the unity of the human race. He contrasts two schools of philology—lexical comparison and grammatical analysis—and offers a method for judging linguistic affinities while warning against overextended etymologies. The work culminates with reflections on unity of humanity, civilization, and the divine design behind creation, asserting science as a handmaid to faith.
