This volume examines the way in which cultural ideas about "the
heavens" shape religious ideas and are shaped by them in return.
Our approaches to cosmology have a profound effect on the way in
which we each deal with religious questions and participate in the
imaginative work of public and private world-building. Employing an
interdisciplinary team of international scholars, each chapter
shows how religion and cosmology interrelate and matter for real
people. Historical and contemporary case studies are included to
demonstrate the lived reality of a variety of faith traditions and
their interactions with the cosmos. This breadth of scope allows
readers to get a unique overview of how religion, science and our
view of space have, and will continue to, impact our worldviews.
Offering a comprehensive exploration of humanity and its
relationship with cosmology, this book will be an important
reference for scholars of Religion and Science, Religion and
Culture, Interreligious Dialogue and Theology, as well as those
interested in Science and Culture and Public Education.
