Summary "History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom" by Andrew Dickson White is a historical account composed during the late 19th century. The book explores the conflict between scientific progress and theological dogma, illustrating how these two realms have historically contended for intellectual dominance in the Christian world. The opening of the work sets the stage for this exploration, as White uses the metaphor of Russian peasants working on the Neva River to illustrate the necessity of allowing historical truth to penetrate outdated theological constructs. He reflects on the establishment of Cornell University, which aimed to foster a balanced education free from sectarian bias, and the opposition it faced from religious authorities who viewed the integration of science into education as a threat to Christian doctrine. White's introduction highlights the overarching theme of the book: the struggle between emerging scientific thought and established theological views, arguing that the advancement of knowledge is essential for the moral and social evolution of society.
