Description
Book SynopsisA panel of world experts examines the hottest topics of debate in science and religion, pointing the way forward to further interaction and integration between the two disciplines, and ultimately why science and faith need each other.
Trade ReviewThis treasure-chest of a volume surely belongs on the shelves of those who are tired of the worn-out myth that science and religion are inherently conflicted . . . Eric Priest has assembled a rich round-table of authors from physical, life and medical sciences, philosophy and theology . . . I rather hope that this collection might be read as well by those who do still buy into the "conflict narrative". They might just change their minds. * Tom McLeish FRS, Professor of Physics, Durham University *
