God and religion come in for bad press these days. Is religion
worth keeping? Are militant atheists misguided? Do religion and
spirituality need each other? Is it possible to build tolerance and
respect in a divided world? And can science play a role? Eleanor
Stoneham explains why the answer to all these questions is a
resounding 'yes'. It is true that religions need to change and
become more relevant for today's needs. But supposing science also
changed, shed its shackles of conventional materialistic dogma
based on some shaky assumptions and looked with new eyes at
religious beliefs such as prayer, distance healing and life after
death? Is it possible that the latest ideas on empathy and
consciousness could be narrowing the gulf between science and
religion? In our quest for a more just and peaceful society, could
these same ideas help us find stronger inter-religious bonds of
respect and understanding at the level of heart and soul? This book
will help lay persons and clergy alike relate church tradition to
the wider world of science, spirituality and interfaith issues. It
will challenge the 'spiritual but not religious.' It will make the
faithful think. And it will test those convinced that their
religion or faith is the only way to enlightenment, the only path
to Truth.
