Combining ethnographic research with theological analysis, this
book explores how the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR), one of
the largest new movements within the global Catholic Church, has
developed in contemporary Britain and Northern Ireland. Drawing on
extensive fieldwork, this study analyses the beliefs, behaviour and
worldviews of CCR members, and considers how these relate to key
theological themes in the movement’s unique encounter between
Pentecostalism and Catholicism. The author explores the extent to
which the CCR has been integrated into the mainstream of the
Catholic Church, and how the movement’s members have adapted
their theology over time. Painting a picture of a diverse
community, this book enriches understanding of the CCR and
contemporary Christianity in Britain.
This book brings together the latest research in education in
relation to science and religion. Leading international scholars
and practitioners provide vital insights into the underlying
debates and present a range of practical approaches for teaching.
Key themes include the origin of the universe, the theory of
evolution, the nature of the human person, the nature of science
and Artificial Intelligence. These are explored in a range of
international contexts. The book provides a valuable resource for
teachers, students and researchers in the fields of education,
science, religious education and the growing specialist field of
science and religion. Science and Religion in Education is a
compelling read for current and future generations of academic
researchers and teachers who wish to explore the fascinating
intersect between science education and religious studies. The
research findings and insights presented by these international
scholars offer new dimensions on contemporary practice. - Vaille
Dawson, Professor of Science Education, University of Western
Australia Science and Religion in Education offers a fascinating
and diverse collection of chapters surveying the current state of
thinking about how science and religion can be understood in
education. The book offers a wealth of thought-provoking material
for anyone interested in the natures of science and religion, their
relationship(s), or their representation within the curriculum. -
Professor Keith Taber, University of Cambridge Science education
and religious education are uncomfortable bedfellows. This book,
written in part as a response to the - perhaps too clear - accounts
of Ian Barbour, provides suitably nuanced pictures of how science
and religion are dealt with in schools. Whatever the views of
specialists, young people 'receive' an education in both science
and religion: hearing their voices is refreshing in such a serious
academic account. - Julian Stern, Professor of Education and
Religion, York St John University Humans have long endeavored to
make sense of the world often using science and religion. Yet,
these two great traditions are frequently seen as incompatible.
This useful volume features thoughtful contributions from experts
whose work straddles the divide and provides educators with
arguments, engaging strategies and historical perspectives to help
build a bridge and allow a fruitful discussion in schools. -
William F. McComas, Distinguished Professor of Science Education,
University of Arkansas Equal parts critical examination of existing
models for the relationship between science and religion, scholarly
exposition of newer models, and insights toward practical
application in classrooms, this book is an invaluable resource for
science and religion educators. If you have been thinking it is
time we looked beyond Barbour's taxonomy, you will want to read
this book. If you have not, I implore you to read this book. -

A Teacher's Guide to Science and Religion in the Classroom provides
practical guidance on how to help children access positive ways of
thinking about the relationship between science and religion.
Written for teachers of children from diverse-faith and non-faith
backgrounds, it explores key concepts, identifies gaps and common
misconceptions in children's knowledge, and offers advice on how to
help them form a deeper understanding of both science and religion.
Drawing on the latest research as well as the designs of successful
workshops for teachers and for children, there are activities in
each chapter that have been shown to help children understand why
science and religion do not necessarily conflict. The book
highlights children's interest in the so-called "Big Questions"
that bridge science and religion and responds to the research
finding that most children are missing ideas that are key to an
explanation of why science and religion can be harmonious. The book
explores key concepts and ideas including: Nature of science Power
and limits of science Evolution, genes and human improvement
Miracles, natural disasters and mystery Profiles of scientists,
including Galileo and Newton A Teacher's Guide to Science and
Religion is an essential companion for preservice and practising
teachers, providing session plans and pedagogic strategies,
together with a cohesive framework, that will support teachers in
fostering children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.
