This volume offers fresh insight into key issues with contributions from some of the world's leading religious and historical thinkers, including David Bentley Hart, Catherine Pickstock, Rowan Williams, Janet Soskice and Tom McLeish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003e'This volume offers a set of historical studies that challenge naïve disciplinary distinctions between science and religion, combined with Anglo-Saxon theological and philosophical speculation. It's a book that can be expected to engage fans and critics alike of those who – as many in this book do – look back to pre-modern ways of wrestling with some vital issues.' William B. Drees, Professor of the Philosophy of the Humanities, Tilburg University\u003cbr\u003e'The starting point of this excellent volume could sound familiar: all sciences have built in theologies. If that is right, what then should come next in the study of science and religion? Harrison and Milbank have assembled a broad array of answers to that question, united as these are by an approach that might be characterised as theology-engaged science. It's a perspective that interrogates and deconstructs the basic categories of science and religion, telling the stories behind those terms by recounting moments at which the boundaries of each were in flux. This book offers a fresh and promising way of using history to challenge modernity's disciplinary boundaries by showing that scientific theories are already engaged in metaphysical and theological debates.'
