This volume brings together contributions from the 2022 conference
of the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology, held
in Ã…lesund, Norway, to address the many urgent questions raised by
the concept of global sustainability. Scholars from the fields of
philosophy, theology and the sciences offer a variety of
perspectives on global sustainability, and on how the need for it
can best be effected and sustained. The material assembled here –
covering the roots of the present ecological crisis, as well as
means for addressing it from ecological, societal, and both
Christian and Islamic theological perspectives – inform
discussions of these questions both within the academy and in wider
public fora. This text appeals to students and researchers
in the field.
This book addresses a variety of important questions on nature,
science, and spirituality: Is the natural world all that there is?
Or is it possible to move 'beyond nature'? What might it mean to
transcend nature? What reflections of anything 'beyond nature'
might be found in nature itself? Gathering papers originally
delivered at the 2018 annual conference of the European Society for
the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT), the book includes
contributions of an international group of scientists,
philosophers, theologians and historians, all discussing nature and
what may lie beyond it. More than 20 chapters explore questions of
science, nature, spirituality and more, including Nature - and
Beyond? Immanence and Transcendence in Science and Religion Awe and
wonder in scientific practice: Implications for the relationship
between science and religion The Cosmos Considered as a Moral
Institution The transcendent within: how our own biology leads to
spirituality Preserving the heavens and the earth: Planetary
sustainability from a Biblical and educational perspective Issues
in Science and Theology: Nature - and Beyond will benefit a broad
audience of students, scholars and faculty in such disciplines as
philosophy, history of science, theology, and ethics.
This book offers a penetrating analysis of issues raised by the
perennial question, 'Are We Special?' It brings together scholars
from a variety of disciplines, from astronomy and palaeontology to
philosophy and theology, to explore this question. Contributors
cover a wide variety of issues, including what makes humans
distinct from other animals, the possibilities of artificial life
and artificial intelligence, the likelihood of life on other
planets, and the role of religious behavior. A variety of religious
and scientific perspectives are brought to bear on these matters.
As a whole, the book addresses whether the issue of human
uniqueness is one to which sciences and religions necessarily offer
differing responses.
This volume examines emotions and emotional well-being from a rich
variety of theological, philosophical and scientific and
therapeutic perspectives. To experience emotion is a part of being
human; but what are emotions? How can theology, philosophy and the
natural sciences unpack the nature and content of emotions? This
volume is based on contributions to the 15th European Conference on
Science and Theology held in Assisi, Italy. It brings together
contributions from scholars of various academic backgrounds from
around the world, whose individual insights are made all the richer
by their juxtaposition with those from experts in other fields,
leading to a unique exchange of ideas.

This book brings together selected papers from scientists,
theologians and philosophers who took part in the 2021 conference
of the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology based
in Madrid, Spain. The contributions constitute a cutting-edge
resource for considering questions from interdisciplinary
perspectives, covering both the crucial role played by images and
models in our thinking and also the limitations which are inherent
in these linguistic devices. Questions addressed include: Can this
use of images and models generate a creative pluralism, enabling us
to think outside the disciplinary silos which are a feature of
academic discourse? Can they enable fruitful, synergistic,
interdisciplinary conversations? This book will appeal to
students and academics alike, particularly those working in the
fields of philosophy, theology, ethics and the history of science.
