The Doctrine of Evolution: Its Data, Its Principles, Its Speculations, and Its Theistic Bearings (Classic Reprint)

The Doctrine of Evolution: Its Data, Its Principles, Its Speculations, and Its Theistic Bearings offers a clear, accessible look at the evolution debate and what it implies for belief in God.

The work presents both strong defenses and pointed objections, aiming to help readers weigh evidence and arguments without assuming a final verdict.

This edition frames evolution as a broad inquiry into how complex life and ideas may develop, while also examining how these views intersect with theology. It discusses facts, theories, and the possible role of intelligence in guiding development, inviting readers to consider the relationship between scientific ideas and religious belief.

• Key concepts in evolution and design, explained in straightforward terms
• Different theories of how species and ideas may progress over time
• Arguments for and against connecting natural development with divine purpose
• Questions about science and faith that readers can apply to other debates

Ideal for readers curious about how science and religion can inform one another, and for those seeking a historically grounded discussion of evolution’s data, methods, and theistic implications.
