What are religions? Why is it important to understand them? One
answer is that religions and religious believers are extremely bad
news: they are deeply involved in conflicts around the globe; they
harm people of whom they disapprove; and they often seem
irrational. Another answer claims that they are in fact extremely
good news: religious beliefs and practices are universal and so
fundamental in human nature that they have led us to great
discoveries in our explorations of the cosmos and of who we are.
The sciences began as part of that religious exploration. John
Bowker demonstrates that there is truth in both answers and that we
need both to understand what religion is and why it matters. He
draws on many disciplines - from physics, genetics and the
neurosciences to art, anthropology and the history of religions -
to show how they shed entirely new light on religion in the modern
world.
