The articles selected for this volume explore emergent issues in
the contemporary relationship between Islam and science and present

section on the operationalization of Islamic science in the modern
world and a section on studies in traditional Islamic cosmology.
God, Life, and the Cosmos: Christian and Islamic Perspectives is
the first book in which Christian and Muslim scholars explore the
frontiers of science-religion discourse. Leading international
scholars present new work on key issues in science and religion
from Christian and Islamic perspectives. Following an introduction
by the editors, the book is divided into three sections: the first
explores the philosophical issues in science-religion discourse;
the second examines cosmology; the third analyses the issues
surrounding bioethics. One of the first books to explore aspects of
science-religion discourse from the perspective of two religious
traditions, God, Life, and the Cosmos opens up new vistas to all
interested in science and religion, and those exploring
contemporary issues in Christianity and Islam.
Situated between the Greek, Indian and Persian scientific
traditions and modern science, the Islamic scientific tradition
received, enriched, transformed and then bequeathed scientific
knowledge to Europe. The articles selected for this volume explore
the fascinating process of knowledge in motion between different
civilizations.
Recent studies in the history of Islamic science based on the
discovery and study of new primary texts and instruments have
substantially revised the views of nineteenth-century historians of
science. This volume presents some of these ground-breaking studies
as well as articles which shed new light on the ongoing academic
debate surrounding the question of the decline of Islamic
scientific tradition.
This volume brings together thematically arranged articles on the
relationship between Islam and science and how it has been shaped
over the last century. The articles represent a broad variety of
approaches and perspectives as well as reflective and analytic
views and include some of the most important voices in the Islam
and science discourse. This collection, which includes a special
section devoted to studies that explore various aspects of the
relationship between the Qur'an and science, is a valuable resource
for researchers interested in gaining a greater understanding of
the broader relationship between religion and science.
This title was first published in 2002. This text seeks to provide
the necessary background for understanding the contemporary
relationship between Islam and modern science. Presenting an
authentic discourse on the Islamic understanding of the physical
cosmos, Muzaffar Iqbal explores God's relationship to the created
world and the historical and cultural forces that have shaped and
defined Muslim attitudes towards science. What was Islamic in the
Islamic scientific tradition? How was it rooted in the Qur'anic
worldview and whatever happened to it? These are some of the facets
of this account of a tradition that spans eight centuries and
covers a vast geographical region. Written from within, this
ground-breaking exploration of some of the most fundamental
questions in the Islam and science discourse, explores the process
of appropriation and transformation of the Islamic scientific
tradition in Europe during the three centuries leading up to the
Scientific revolution.

This four volume series brings together the most important and
influential articles dealing with various aspects of the
relationship between Islam and science. The studies reflect
historical, epistemological and philosophical issues and
perspectives, and cover a wide spectrum of subject areas ranging
from Islamic perspectives on cosmology and biological evolution to
the relationship between the Qur'an and science, and contemporary
issues in many fields where science and religion interact. The
series sheds new light on historical links between modern science
and the Islamic scientific tradition and also includes special
studies on major voices in the Islam and science discourse. Each
volume in the series is thematically arranged, which makes clear
the developments in various sub areas of the Islam and science
nexus, and includes an introduction which presents an overview of
the current status of research in the field. This series
constitutes a comprehensive reference resource for libraries and
academic researchers interested in all aspects of the Islam and
science discourse.

Science and Islam provides a detailed account of the relationship
between Islam and science from the emergence of the Islamic
scientific tradition in the eighth century to the present time.
This relationship has gone through three distinct phases. The first
phase began with the emergence of science in the Islamic
civilization in the eighth century and ended with the rise of
modern science in the West; the second period is characterized by
the arrival of modern science in the Muslim world, most of which at
that time was under colonial occupation; and the third period,
which began around 1950, is characterized by a more mature approach
to the major questions that modern science has posed for all
religious traditions. Based on primary sources, the book presents a
panorama of Islamic views on some of the major issues in the
current science and religion discourse. Written in accessible
language, Science and Islam is an authentic account of the
multi-faceted and complex issues that arise at the interface of
Islamic intellectual tradition and science. Rich in historical
details, the book is a fascinating survey of the interaction of
Islamic beliefs with the enterprise of science.
