Synopsis
By focusing on the period from the 1925 Scopes Trial to the 1962 World's Fair, historian James Gilbert describes the long conversation between science and religion in American culture, with particular attention to the interplay of these two domains at three levels--the individual, the institutional, and the public. The book is notably strong in its coverage of the shifting nature of both scientific and religious authority that has marked this period, along with the changing relationship of science and spirituality within American popular culture.

Industry reviews
"Gilbert integrates everything from sermons to science fiction into a strikingly original account of American cultural history after World War II. By illuminating the uneasy courtship between science and religion in American popular culture, Gilbert poses philosophical questions that continue to haunt us down to the present."
Lears 

"Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand why science and religion remain such pervasive, interactive, and ultimately irreconcilable forces in American life."
De Hart 

"An impressionistic but memorable account of the mid-century negotiations between religion and science in American culture....four decades fraught with great changes in the scientific community....Gilbert does a fine job of tracing these changes and chooses engaging examples to explore Americans' cautious enchantment with science through the 1960s, ranging from fashionable speculation about UFOs to the popularity of Frank Capra's widely seen documentary "Our Mr. Sun."...A provocative and useful study.
Bew 

"Anyone seriously interested in the history of current controversies involving religion and science will find Gilbert's book invaluable."
Brown
