Since its publication in 2002, Science and Religion has proven to
be a widely admired survey of the complex relationship of Western
religious traditions to science from the beginning of the Christian
era to the late twentieth century. In the second edition, eleven
new essays expand the scope and enhance the analysis of this
enduringly popular book. Tracing the rise of science from its birth
in the medieval West through the scientific revolution, the
contributors here assess historical changes in scientific
understanding brought about by transformations in physics,
anthropology, and the neurosciences and major shifts marked by the
discoveries of Copernicus, Galileo, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin,
and others. In seeking to appreciate the intersection of scientific
discovery and the responses of religious groups, contributors also
explore the theological implications of contemporary science and
evaluate approaches such as the Bible in science and the modern
synthesis in evolution, which are at the center of debates in the
historiography, understanding, and application of science. The
second edition provides chapters that have been revised to reflect
current scholarship along with new chapters that bring fresh
perspectives on a diverse range of topics, including new scientific
approaches and disciplines and non-Christian traditions such as
Judaism, Islam, Asiatic religions, and atheism. This indispensible
classroom guide is now more useful than ever before. Contributors:
