Book Description
Science and Religion is a record of the 2009 Building Bridges seminar, a dialogue between leading Christian and Muslim scholars convened annually by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The essays in this volume explore how both faith traditions have approached the interface between science and religion and throw light on the ongoing challenges posed by this issue today. The volume includes a selection of relevant texts together with commentary that illuminates the scriptures, the ideas of key religious thinkers, and also the legacy of Charles Darwin.
Editorial Reviews
Review
For those who have neither time nor expertise to delve deeply into this highly complex field, this latest compilation of texts and discussions from the eighth of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s ‘Building Bridges’ seminars (held in Turkey in 2009) is an appetizer that points the way towards further readings.
This volume offers a panoramic look at the problem of the relationship between science and religion . . . with the firm intention of stimulating further discussion.
