Excerpt from Protestant Modernism or Religious Thinking for Thinking Men Ways of thinking have a history. The paternal grandparents of the author of this book were tried for heresy, for not believing in foreordination to eternal torments, and were expelled from the Baptist church in Williamstown, Massachusetts, known as "the stone church." As a result the author's father was estranged from all churches, but was accustomed to discussions of theology as his daily intellectual exercise. The discussions led to wide reading and much thinking, to a devout spirit and an untrammelled mind. The author's mother early led him to the Methodist church, and he was reared in its theological atmosphere.

Excerpt from Protestant Modernism: Or Religious Thinking for Thinking Men Ways of thinking have a history. The paternal grandfather of the author of this book was tried for heresy, and expelled from the Baptist church in Williamstown, Mass., known as "the stone church." One result was that the author's father was estranged from all churches, but was accustomed to discussions of theology as his daily intellectual exercise. The discussions led to wide reading and much thinking, to a devout spirit and an untrammelled mind. The author's mother led him early to the Methodist church, and he was reared in its theological atmosphere. When he decided to prepare for the ministry, his father, then suffering from mortal disease, placed upon him one simple injunction, that he should never teach anything which he had not investigated for himself, and which he was not convinced was reasonable.

A critical edition of ten rare pamphlets on science and religion published from 1922–1931 by the University of Chicago Divinity School. In the years surrounding the Scopes trial in 1925, liberal Protestant scientists, theologians, and clergy sought to diminish opposition to evolution and to persuade American Christians to adopt more positive attitudes toward modern science. With funding from the Rockefeller Foundation and many leading scientists, the University of Chicago Divinity School published a series of ten pamphlets on science and religion to counter William Jennings Bryan's efforts to ban evolution in public schools. In Protestant Modernist Pamphlets, historian Edward B. Davis, who discovered these pamphlets, reprints them with extensive editorial comments, annotations, and introductions to each. Based on unpublished correspondence and internal Divinity School documents, these introductions narrate the origin of the pamphlets, as well as their funding sources and how readers reacted to them. Letters from dozens of top scientists at the time reveal their previously unknown views on God and the relationship between science and religion. Viewed together, the pamphlets and Davis's critical assessment of their historical importance provide an intriguing perspective on Protestant modernist encounters with science in the early twentieth century.
