Nature and the Godly Empire: Science and Evangelical Mission in the Pacific, 1795–1850 - Cambridge Social and Cultural Histories
Sivasundaram, Sujit (Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge)
A study of the relations between nineteenth-century science and Christianity, focusing on London Missionary Society members who became residents in the Pacific. It argues that Britain's providential empire found support from popular views of nature as much as elite science. It will be of interest to cultural historians and anthropologists.
