EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the revered figure of Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, a leading opponent of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection in the 19th century. The Bishop, who served as the Bishop of Oxford and later the Bishop of Winchester, is depicted here in his full ecclesiastical regalia, including his crozier and mitre, against the backdrop of the historic Winchester Cathedral. The year is 1873, and Wilberforce's stern yet thoughtful expression conveys the intensity of the intellectual debates that raged during this period over the validity of Darwin's groundbreaking theories. Born in 1805, Wilberforce was a prominent Anglican clergyman and theologian, who was also a skilled debater and writer. He was a vocal critic of Darwin's theory, which challenged the traditional religious belief in divine creation. Wilberforce's opposition to natural selection was based on his belief that it undermined the idea of a benevolent God. Despite the controversy surrounding Darwin's theories, Wilberforce's influence extended beyond the realm of science and theology. He was a prominent figure in British society and played a significant role in various social and political issues of the time, including education and the abolition of slavery. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a man who left an indelible mark on history. It serves as a reminder of the intellectual and theological debates that shaped the scientific and religious landscape of the 19th century, and the enduring impact of these debates on our understanding of the natural world and our place in it.
