The past quarter-century has seen an explosion of interest in the
history of science and religion. But all too often the scholars
writing it have focused their attention almost exclusively on the
Christian experience, with only passing reference to other
traditions of both science and faith. At a time when religious
ignorance and misunderstanding have lethal consequences, such
provincialism must be avoided and, in this pioneering effort to
explore the historical relations of what we now call "science" and
"religion," the authors go beyond the Abrahamic traditions to
examine the way nature has been understood and manipulated in
regions as diverse as ancient China, India, and sub-Saharan Africa.
Science and Religion around the World also provides authoritative
discussions of science in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam -- as
well as an exploration of the relationship between science and the
loss of religious beliefs. The narratives included in this book
demonstrate the value of plural perspectives and of the importance
of location for the construction and perception of science-religion
relations.
