Twelve scientists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines demonstrate that it is indeed possible for profound intellectuals to integrate the life of science with the life of faith. In honest and inspiring interviews, they describe the difficult though rewarding process of reconciling their faith with their science and reveal the ways in which the two spheres can not only coexist but also mutually enhance each other. Jane Goodall begins the conversation by emphasizing the importance of recognizing the "spark of spirit" that runs through all creatures, human and animal. Robert Pollack discusses his motivations for opening a major center for the study of science and religion at Columbia University. Khalil Chamcham, a Moroccan astrophysicist and devout Muslim, moves from the study of galaxy formation to a new dialogue between Islam and the West. Thomas Odhiambo, a Kenyan entomologist, helps to bring sustainable agriculture to sub-Saharan Africa by uniting African animist and Christian traditions, and Henry Thompson, a computer scientist, utilizes his Quaker practice in both his science and his work as a mediator. Thoughtful and compelling, these and other scientists recount a rich integration of science and religion in their practice, their experience, and their approach to their work. Some find a deep harmony between the life of faith and the practice of science, whereas others struggle with the ongoing tensions. These original interviews range across the metaphysical, ethical, and religious implications of cutting-edge research. Taken together, they offer a unique picture of how scientists make peace with their work and their spirituality.

Der Begriff Dialog ist in unserer Zeit in allen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen zu einem dominanten Schlagwort geworden. Schuld daran ist die Situation einer zunehmenden Pluralisierung und Fragmentarisierung des Geistes- und Gesellschaftslebens, die zunächst in einer Reihe von Verlusten erlebbar wird, nämlich als Verlust verbindlicher Einheit und eines absoluten Erkenntnisfundaments, damit auch als Verlust von Sicherheit und Orientierung. Die Dynamik der Moderne hat eine Situation entstehen lassen, die eine Gleichzeitigkeit unterschiedlicher Lebensformen und Wirklichkeitsverständnisse hervorgebracht hat, was eine Potenzierung der Konfrontationen mit Anders- oder Fremdheit mit sich bringt. Im besonderen Maße betrifft dies die geistig/gesellschaftliche Situation von Religion, denn gerade sie wird durch die Konfrontation mit anderen Erfahrungsgebieten und Traditionen zu einer Stellungnahme herausgefordert: das gilt vor allem für eine Konfrontation der Religionen miteinander sowie für die Konfrontation mit einer vorherrschenden naturwissenschaftlichen Weltsicht. Religion in der heutigen Zeit einer globalisierten Moderne ist daher "Religion im Dialog". Dabei zeigt sich die Notwendigkeit, dass die Beschäftigung mit dem Thema selbst nur dialogisch, d.h. interdisziplinär erfolgen kann. Der vorliegende Sammelband vereint daher Beiträge, welche die spezifischen Probleme und Möglichkeit von Dialog im Bereich des Dialogs der Religionen untereinander und des Dialogs Naturwissenschaft-Religion näher beleuchten, mit dem Ziel, die Bausteine zu liefern zu einer interdisziplinär ausgerichteten Bestimmung einer Theorie des Dialogs.

Science deeply challenges classical descriptions of the human person as 'free' and as 'spirit'. This survey of contemporary neuroscience and evolutionary biology explores why these challenges have arisen. At the same time it finds in the religious dimension of human existence powerful resources for speaking of the 'Emergenz des Geistes' and of a deeper sense of human freedom.
