This book explores the concept of Life from a range of
perspectives. Divided into three parts, it first examines the
concept of Life from physics to biology. It then presents insights
on the concept from the perspectives of philosophy, theology, and
ethics. The book concludes with chapters on the hermeneutics of
Life, and pays special attention to the Biosemiotics approach to
the concept. The question 'What is Life?' has been deliberated by
the greatest minds throughout human history. Life as we know it is
not a substance or fundamental property, but a complex process. It
is not an easy task to develop an unequivocal approach towards Life
combining scientific, semiotic, philosophical, theological, and
ethical perspectives. In its combination of these perspectives, and
its wide-ranging scope, this book opens up levels and identifies
issues which can serve as intersections for meaningful
interdisciplinary discussions of Life in its different aspects. The
book includes the four plenary lectures and selected, revised and
extended papers from workshops of the 14th European Conference on
Science and Theology (ECST XIV) held in Tartu, Estonia, April 2012.
Navigating Post-Truth and Alternative Facts: Religion and Science
as Political Theology is an edited volume that explores the
critical intersection of "religion-and-science" and our
contemporary political and social landscape with a tailored eye
towards the epistemological and hermeneutical impact of the
"post-truth society." The rise of the post-truth society has
specific importance and inherent risk for nearly all academic
disciplines and researchers. When personal beliefs regarding
climate change trump scientific consensus, research projects are
defunded, results are hidden or undermined, and all of us are at a
greater vulnerability to extreme weather patterns. When expertise
itself becomes suspect, we become a nation lead by fools. When data
is overcome by alternative facts and truth in any form is suspect,
where is the space for religious and/or scientific scholarship? The
central curiosity of this volume is "what is the role of religion
and science scholarship in a post-truth society?" This text
explores truth, lies, fear, populism, politics, faith, the
environment, post modernity, and our shared public life.

This is an exploration of the relationship between evolutionary
psychology, naturalism, and theological reflections, published by
ESSSAT, the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology.
How natural is religion? Is it a phenomenon written in our genes or
brains, naturally developing with the development of the human
race? The book considers the findings of evolutionary psychology
from scientific, philosophical and theological perspectives and
critically examines the relation between empirical, epistemological
and theological notions. Chapters in the book deal with the
naturalness of religion and religious experiences as based on
genetics, biology and social psychology. Other authors examine the
relationship between religion, science and theology with regard to
the naturalness of religion from a more general perspective. The
last part of the book includes views from a Muslim scholar and a
historian.
