an important service to religion Interpreting the Bible
Formerly the Bible was expounded to be teacher not
only Of religion but OF scientific truth Hence, conflict
arose between the teachers Of and religion which
has existed since The result Of this conflict is that
the Bible has TO be understood as exact and lit

OF independent research, with which religion
has but little concern, except TO show defensvely that
the ultimate results OF scientific investigation are
not at variance with fair construction 81 the Bible
