“…In their infamous histories, Draper and White enumerated dozens of historical episodes (some fabricated), on the basis of which they hoped to show that there is some kind of tension between religion and science. Working at a perhaps more modest scale, historians like David Hollinger and Marwa Elshakry have pushed for Harmony on the basis of their studies of twentieth‐century Jewish scientists (Hollinger 1996) and the reception of Darwin in Islamic cultures (Elshakry 2013).…”

Typologies like Ian Barbour's have been widely used—and critiqued—in religion‐and‐science. Several alternatives have been proposed by, for example, John Haught, Willem Drees, Mikael Stenmark, and Shoaib Ahmed Malik. However, there has been a surprising deficit in discussion of what we wish typologies to do in religion and science in the first place. In this article, I provide a general analysis of typologies in religion‐and‐science by (1) providing a classification of existing typologies as conclusion‐ or concept‐oriented; (2) showing that typologies are used, or expected to be used, as first‐order categorizations of how religion and science are related and as second‐order classifications of scholars/scholarly works; (3) discussing several aims which we might want typologies to achieve in their second‐order usage; and (4) presenting a new kind of typology focused on the methods used by scholars which achieves those aims in a unique way.

“…The general climate for hiring Jews changed substantially in the late 1940s, and general antisemitism continued to decline (but not disappear) in the 1950s and 1960s (e.g., see Dinnerstein, 1994;Shapiro, 1992). It is often thought that collective guilt over the Holocaust made discrimination in hiring unfashionable (e.g., Hollinger, 1996), but supply and demand also played a significant role. In academia, the situation changed quite suddenly, and Boring (1947) could now write to C. A. Dickinson of the University of Maine:…”
