Rather than focusing solely on scientific backgrounds, the text's chosen readings provide historical, theological, social, and political backgrounds as well. The readings are divided into three sets: The first addresses how scientists and theologians have tried to resolve the apparent contradictions between Darwin and the Bible. The second examines the different historical and cultural settings that defined the parameters of the debate, as well as their implications for religion and science on a global scale. The third describes how the debate came to center on education and explores the impacts on both teachers and students. What the reviewers are saying..."
