How should we think about religion, science, and their
relationship in modern society? Some religious groups oppose
evolution; some atheists claim science is on their side. Others
reconcile their beliefs with science, or consider science and faith
to deal with fundamentally different aspects of human life. What
indeed is religion: belief or trust in God s existence? How do we
distinguish sense from superstition? What does science have to say
on such issues?
Willem B. Drees considers contemporary discussions of these
issues in Europe and North America, using examples from
Christianity and religious naturalism, and reflections on Islam and
Tibetan Buddhism. He argues that the scientific understanding
leaves open certain ultimate questions, and thus allows for belief
in a creator, but also for religious naturalism or serious
agnosticism. By analysing the place of values in a world of facts,
and the quest for meaningful stories in a material world, Religion
and Science in Context offers an original and self-critical
analysis of the field, its assumptions and functions, and ends with
a vision of its possible future.
