Note(s) : Throughout history, scientific discovery has clashed with religious dogma, creating
conflict, controversy, and sometimes violent dispute. In this enlightening and accessible
volume, distinguished historian and Pulitzer Prize–winning author Edward Larson and
Michael Ruse, philosopher of science and Gifford Lecturer, offer their distinctive
viewpoints on the sometimes contentious relationship between science and religion.
The authors explore how scientists, philosophers, and theologians through time and
today approach vitally important topics, including cosmology, geology, evolution,
genetics, neurobiology, gender, and the environment. Broaching their subjects from
both historical and philosophical perspectives, Larson and Ruse avoid rancor and polemic
as they address many of the core issues currently under debate by the adherents of
science and the advocates of faith, shedding light on the richly diverse field of
ideas at the crossroads where science meets spiritual belief
