Description
Book SynopsisThis collection examines the intersections of religion and “new” materialisms. Calling upon an interdisciplinary throng of scholars in science studies, religious studies, and theology, it assembles a multiplicity of experimental perspectives on materiality: what is matter, how does it materialize, and what sort of worlds are enacted in its varied entanglements with divinity?
Trade Review"As new understandings of matter and materialism continue to gain visibility and generate interest, Entangled Worlds makes an essential contribution: While theorists of materialism often assume that science and religious thought are at odds, the essays collected here demonstrate that a sophisticated understanding of theology and religion enriches our understanding of materiality in its full liveliness and complexity. A focus on materiality, in turn, changes and enriches theology. These smart and well written essays will be invaluable to readers across both the humanities and sciences." -- -Karmen MacKendrick McDevitt Center for Creativity and Innovation at Le Moyne College
