Christopher Rios' After the Monkey Trial prompts us to revise our understanding of evangelicals and evolution since the Scopes trial of 1925, when evangelicals earned a reputation as combative and anti-intellectual. His careful study adds a wonderful cast of characters to the history of religion and science that recovers the rich, if complicated history of evangelical scientists' participation in and negotiation with scholarship on evolution. This book offers not only a fresh perspective on the history of religion and science, but also a valuable historical case study for thinking about ongoing debates about evolution and the culture wars -- one that will force us to ask why we all too often, and all too easily, pit science and religion against one another. -----Anthony Petro, Boston University, "Christopher Rios' After the Monkey Trial prompts us to revise our understanding of evangelicals and evolution since the Scopes trial of 1925, when evangelicals earned a reputation as combative and anti-intellectual.

Hankins, Baylor University "By telling the story of how evangelicals in England and America came to terms with science in the post-war period, Rios' book fills an important gap in the history of science and religion.

Anyone interested in this topic should read this book."-Edward B. Davis, Messiah College, "The tensions between evangelical Christianity and evolutionary theory have become notorious, but in this pioneering transatlantic study Christopher Rios shows that from the 1940s there were organizations in America as well as in Britain that wrestled perceptively and persistently with the issues involved.

Synopsis
In the well-known Scopes "Monkey Trial" of 1925, famously portrayed in the film and play Inherit the Wind, William Jennings Bryan's fundamentalist fervor clashed with defense attorney Clarence Darrow's aggressive agnosticism, illustrating what current scholars call the conflict thesis. It appeared, regardless of the actual legal question of the trial, that Christianity and science were at war with each other. Decades later, a new generation of evangelical scientists struggled to restore peace. After the Monkey Trial is the compelling history of those evangelical scientists in Britain and America who, unlike their fundamentalist cousins, supported mainstream scientific conclusions of the world and resisted the anti-science impulses of the era. This book focuses on two organizations, the American Scientific Affiliation and the Research Scientists' Christian Fellowship (today Christians in Science), who for more than six decades have worked to reshape the evangelical engagement with science and redefine what it means to be a creationist., A study of evangelical scientists during the middle decades of the twentieth century who resisted the antievolutionary creationist movement.
