Abstract: The work of Charles Darwin had a great impact upon the American mind during the second half of the nineteenth century. While Darwinist theories presented a challenge to many systems of thought, they had their greatest impact upon theology, because many theologians saw Darwinism as a direct threat to a belief in the divine creation and governance of the world . . . This thesis examines the thought of . . . James McCosh -- and shows how he attempted to achieve a synthesis between Darwinism, Scottish Common Sense Realism, and Christian theology.
