Creationism's Trojan Horse
Creationism's Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent Design is a 2004 book by Barbara Forrest and Paul R. Gross on the origins of intelligent design, specifically the Discovery Institute's Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture and its wedge strategy. The book is highly critical of what it refers to as intelligent design creationism and the authors document the intelligent design movement's fundamentalist Christian origins and funding.
The book grew out of an essay, The Wedge at Work: How Intelligent Design Creationism Is Wedging Its Way into the Cultural and Academic Mainstream which Forrest wrote for the book Intelligent Design Creationism and Its Critics (2001) edited by Robert T. Pennock. It is published by Oxford University Press and has a foreword by Steven Weinberg.
It can be seen as carrying on the history of creationism from where Ronald Numbers's treatise The Creationists (1992) on the "creation science" movement, left off.
