Science and Religion in the 1920s: Religious Pamphlets by Major American Scientists

这个项目的重点是九本关于宗教和科学的小册子，出版于1922年和1931年之间的美国神圣文学研究所，芝加哥大学神学院的函授部门。谢勒马修斯，神学院院长和一个重要的新教神学家，监督该系列，并写了其中一本小册子自己。另一位著名的新教神学家哈里·爱默生·福斯迪克（Harry Emerson Fosdick）写了两本小册子。其他六篇论文是由美国著名的科学家和工程师撰写的：罗伯特·A.密立根，埃德温·格兰特·康克林，柯特利·马瑟，埃德温·弗罗斯特，迈克尔·普平和塞缪尔·克里斯蒂安·施穆克。虽然这些小册子是由约翰·D·小洛克菲勒，它们分布非常广泛，科学史学家和宗教史学家几乎都不知道它们。该项目支持编写小册子的历史，分析其内容，并将其置于美国宗教和科学历史的大背景下。

This project focuses on nine pamphlets about religion and science, published between 1922 and 1931 by the American Institute of Sacred Literature, a correspondence arm of the University of Chicago Divinity School. Shailer Mathews, Dean of the Divinity School and an important Protestant theologian, supervised the series and wrote one of the pamphlets himself. Another leading Protestant theologian, Harry Emerson Fosdick, wrote two pamphlets. The other six were written by prominent American scientists and engineers: Robert A. Millikan, Edwin Grant Conklin, Kirtley Mather, Edwin Frost, Michael Pupin, and Samuel Christian Schmucker. Although the pamphlets were underwritten by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and distributed very widely, they are virtually unknown to both historians of science and historians of religion. This project supports the preparation of a history of the pamphlets that analyzes their content and places them in the larger context of the history of religion and science in America.
