Truths and Untruths of Evolution written by John Benjamin Drury is an interesting look at the science and theory of evolution through a religious lens. The book features several lectures that were originally delivered before the students of the Theological Seminary in New Brunswick and at Rutgers College. Each lecture tackles the subject of evolution and is a masterful attempt to dissect the truth of evolution from the myriad of false theories (as Drury sees them). Running as a central theme throughout the lectures, Drury's main argument concerns the co-existence of the theory of Evolution and religious belief. In particular, Drury highlights the misconception of mutual exclusion between the two and argues that, "In the discussion I have sought to be just and fair to science as well as to religion. As the reader will see, instead of combating Evolution as altogether inadmissible, I concede a possibility of its truthfulness, and aim to show that a believer in God and a Revelation has nothing to fear from it as a foe to religion, when its postulates are freed from assumptions, and its truths are separated from its untruths." John Benjamin Drury's book Truths and Untruths of Evolution is an intriguing read for individuals exploring evolution theory and science through the eyes of religion. Can the two co-exist? For Drury they can and he hopes to prove that to any reader who picks up this text. This book is definitely an exciting read for scholars of religion, science, and those with only a passing interest in either topic.

Excerpt from Evolution and the Need of Atonement As the title indicates, the main object of this book is not to offer a new theory of the Atonement. Rather it is intended to Show that when the origin and history of man are studied from the scientific, and especially the biological side, the spiritual life, its partial failure, and the need for Atonement, far from receding into vagueness and unreality, are thrown into strong relief.

Excerpt from The Story of Evolution: Facts and Theories on the Development of Life Are you an evolutionist? Are you an anti-evolutionist? It really does not matter. What matters is the quality of thinking you do to justify your position. We take our beliefs and our labels very seriously; and we should, for after all they are ours, they represent our very selves. And yet, not too seriously; for we may be worrying unnecessarily about beliefs and labels that are not truly our own. We may have picked them up inadvertently. They may have been stuck into our pockets during a fit of abstraction. They may have been sold to us when we were off guard. All sorts of very nice people have this belief, or that one. It's quite all right for you to have your belief, whatever it is. But how did you come by it? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
