Michael Faraday: Sandemanian and Scientist : A Study of Science and Religion in the Nineteenth Century

Locates Faraday (1791-1867) and his science in the context of what Faraday characterized as "a very small and despised sect of Christians, known, if known at all, as Sandemanians ." After outlining the history of this fascinating sect, Faraday's social and political views, including his attitude to the scientific community, are shown to derive from the Sandemanian social philosophy.
