Professor Russell explained that the perception of a deep or inherent conflict between science and faith is a product of late nineteenth-century historical revisionism. Two such works helped give rise to this understanding. They are John William Draper’s (Fig. 1.4a) History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science (1874) and Andrew Dickson White’s (Fig. 1.4b) A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom (1896).
