In this lively and often surprising study, Dr Chapman examines popular misunderstandings about key events in the history of science-faith relations.
He covers the major episodes such as Galileo's trial, the Wilberforce-Huxley debate and the Scopes trial of 1925, but also looks further back through the medieval period to the Classical age, revealing how these events have acquired mythical and misleading status. He exposes the facts that have been forgotten and the contemporary opinions that have been supplanted by modern propaganda. 'Slaying the Dragons' is an important book that strips away layers of misunderstanding and misinterpretation and, in so doing, helps us to appreciate that science and religion are not the common enemies we think they are.
