The Mormon Church and Science

A compilation of 16 essays (plus an introduction and epilogue) of which two are published for the first time about the Church and its changing relationship with the hard sciences. The selected essays provide a prospective of the issues from both a historical and a contemporary vantage. Not to be overlooked are the editor's 18 page introduction (with notes), as well as their "Review Essay," (one of the non-published essays) that serves as an annotated bibliography to this subject area of the Church's leadership and their use, disuse, trust, retreat and alienation from science. Included essayists are Richard Sherlock, William Bradshaw, James Farmer, Eldon Gardner, F. Brent Johnson, Richard Smith and Gary James Bergera. Specifically discussed are creation, organic evolution, Darwinism, age of the earth, scientific versus religious truth and pre-adamites. Each essay has its own endnotes, but the volume has no illustrations, index or general bibliography. The anthology serves as a basic introduction to the problem of reconciling Mormonism and science.
