EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the revered figure of Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, a prominent opponent of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection in the 19th century. Taken in either Winchester or Oxford, where Wilberforce held bishopric positions, the image portrays a natural and relaxed demeanor that belies the intensity of the intellectual debates he engaged in. Born in 1805, Wilberforce was a noted theologian, scholar, and prelate in the Church of England. He was a formidable adversary in the famous 1860 Oxford Debate against Thomas Huxley, where the validity of Darwin's theory was hotly contested. Wilberforce's skepticism towards natural selection was rooted in his belief that it contradicted the divine intervention in nature. Despite his opposition to Darwin's theory, Wilberforce's influence extended beyond religious circles. He was a prolific writer and speaker, contributing significantly to the public discourse on science, religion, and morality. His works, such as "Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professor Priestley," were widely read and debated. This photograph, taken around 1873, offers a glimpse into the personal side of this historical figure. The Bishop's calm expression and tranquil setting convey a sense of wisdom and introspection, inviting us to reflect on the complexities of the intellectual debates that shaped the scientific and religious landscape of the time. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history that unfolded around the figure of Bishop Wilberforce, a man who left an indelible mark on the intellectual and religious discourse of his era.
