Abstract
Abstract The evangelical engagement with science in America during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was a complicated matter. Complications arose from the fact that “science,” variously conceived, played a major role in many evangelical enterprises-promotion of natural theology and moral philosophy; appropriations of democratic ideology, republican political theory, and economic liberalism; and practices of biblical interpretation and theological construction. In addition, one form or another of science regularly featured large in evangelical struggles for the control of public discourse. The subject is also complicated because “science” and “evangelical” have both softer and harder meanings. On the one hand, the meanings of “science” become ever fuzzier the further one moves away from the empirical toward the cosmological.
