Darwiniana

Darwiniana is a collection of essays by botanist Asa Gray. These widely-read articles both defended the theory of evolution from the standpoint of botany, and sought reconciliation with theology by arguing theistic evolution-- that natural selection is not inconsistent with Christianity. Gray considered natural selection as the cause of new species, which was itself caused by some inherent power imparted in the beginning by Godhead.^[1]
