What is Darwinism?

Beschreibung

"What is Darwinism?" is a tremendous work authored by way of Charles Hodge, an influential 19th-century American Presbyterian theologian. Published in the late 19th century, this book significantly examines the emerging principle of Charles Darwin, referred to as Darwinism, which laid the inspiration for contemporary evolutionary biology. Charles Hodge, a staunch endorse of Christian orthodoxy, approached Darwinism from a non-secular and theological perspective. In the book, Hodge scrutinizes the key tenets of Darwin's concept of evolution, which include natural selection and the descent of species from common ancestors. He argues towards those ideas, putting forward that they battle with the traditional Christian belief in divine introduction as described inside the Bible. Hodge's paintings are marked with the aid of a rigorous protection of biblical literalism and a rejection of the concept that life advanced via a naturalistic manner. He contends that Darwinism undermines the theological underpinnings of Christianity and raises profound questions about the relationship between technology and religion. While "What is Darwinism?" represents a conservative spiritual attitude that is at odds with evolutionary theory, it serves as a valuable ancient report, reflecting the non-secular and intellectual debates of the 19th century. It additionally highlights the continued communicate and anxiety among technological know-how and faith that keeps to shape discussions at the principle of evolution to at the moment.

Autor

Charles Hodge (December 27, 1797 - June 19, 1878) was a Reformed Presbyterian theologian who served as the president of Princeton Theological Seminary from 1851 until 1878. He was a key proponent of Princeton Theology, an orthodox Calvinist theological movement that flourished in America during the nineteenth century. He contended vehemently for the Bible's authority as God's Word. Many of his beliefs were embraced by Fundamentalists and Evangelicals in the twentieth century. Hugh Hodge, Charles Hodge's father, was the son of a Scotsman who emigrated from Northern Ireland in the early eighteenth century. Hugh graduated from Princeton College in 1773 and went on to practice medicine in Philadelphia after serving as a military surgeon during the Revolutionary War. In 1790, he married well-bred Bostonian orphan Mary Blanchard. The Hodges' first three sons perished in the Yellow Fever Epidemic in 1793 and another in 1795. Hugh Lenox, their first child to survive childhood, was born in 1796. Hugh Lenox would go on to become an obstetrics expert, and he remained especially close to Charles, often aiding him financially. On December 27, 1797, Charles was born.
