Abstract
Evolutionary theory has greatly influenced science and technology, but in recent decades contemporary scholarship has demonstrated religious influence in evolutionary thought. Religious premises do not merely provide insight; they underwrite evolutionary theory both by mandating strictly naturalistic origins and by providing key arguments for evolution. These arguments are common in the evolution literature, but what are the theological traditions and doctrines underlying these arguments? This paper presents a survey of the historical context of five theological traditions that have been important in the evolution literature. This is a step toward a better understanding of this highly influential theory.
