This thesis is concerned with the relationship between religion and science in Victorian England with a special emphasis on the reception of Darwinian theories and their compatibility with the contemporary religious worldviews. Relying on Thomas Dixon's, Karl W. Giberson's, and Michael Ruse's explanations on biblical implications, some of the greatest challenges can be highlighted. This thesis examines some of these clashing ideas between religion andd science in five separate chapters regarding the role of science, the image of God, the nature of sin, the unique place of mankind, and the idea of progress. I argue that believing in Darwinian theories could be compatible with an Anglo-Catholic belief system. Despite the fact that these theories shook the core of Catholic theological teachings in the Victorian era, there has been a gradual acceptance towards the idea of guided evolution and towards a freer interpretation of scripture.
