In "What is Darwinism?" Charles Hodge embarks on a critical examination of the theories posited by Charles Darwin, delving into the implications of natural selection on the fabric of faith and scientific understanding. Hodge's prose reflects the intellectual fervor of the late 19th century, intertwining clear, accessible language with rigorous philosophical inquiry. He situates Darwinism within the broader context of natural theology, addressing its intersection with issues of religious belief and moral philosophy, and poses essential questions about the nature of existence and divinity amidst the scientific paradigm shift of his time. Charles Hodge, a prominent theologian and a key figure in Princeton's theological seminary, was acutely aware of the rift growing between science and religion during the Victorian era. His commitment to Reformed theology and his scholarly background in both ancient texts and contemporary science informed his critiques against Darwinian principles. Hodge's aim was not merely to refute Darwinism but to provide a framework for understanding the relationship between faith and scientific discovery. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the historical tension between theology and evolutionary biology, as well as for those who seek to contemplate the foundational questions of existence and God's role in creation. Hodge's thoughtful analysis offers timeless insights into the ongoing dialogue between science and religion.
