Publisher's Synopsis
The period from the last few decades of the twentieth century has witnessed the development of a widespread scholarly interest in issues related to science and religion. The relationship between these approaches to understanding the world has long been restless, and often occasions divisive but invigorating discussions that can serve to further our understanding of both.
The volume addresses major historical developments, methodological approaches, and significant figures in the discipline. It also engages with both mutually supportive and contrasting ideas about evolution, Christian bioethics, cosmology and physics, the human sciences, metaphysics, and perspectives on mind.
Bringing together some of the world′s leading scholars, and incorporating diverse philosophical and historical perspectives, The Blackwell Companion to Science and Christianity offers a cutting–edge survey of contemporary thought at the intersection of science and Christianity.
