This book, first published in the U.K. by T&T Clark, expands on the authors' prestigious Glasgow Gifford Lectures of 1995-6. Brooke and Cantor herein examine the many different ways in which the relationship between science and religion has been presented throughout history. They contend that, in fact, neither science nor religion is reducible to some timeless "essence" -- and they deftly criticize the various master-narratives that have been put forward in support of such "essentialist" theses.

Brooke and Cantor herein examine the many different ways in which the relationship between science and religion has been presented throughout history. They contend that, in fact, neither science nor religion is reducible to some timeless "essence"--and they deftly criticize the various master-narratives that have been put forward in support of such "essentialist" theses. Along the way, they repeatedly demolish the clichés so typical of popular histories of the science and religion debate, demonstrating the impossibility of reducing these debates to a single narrative, or of narrowing this relationship to a paradigm of conflict.

Paper Back. Condición: Very Good. These Gifford Lectures for 1995-1996 place the issue of the title within the grasp of us all by presenting it in historical terms, relating dramatic instances of engagement -- whether friendly, hostile, or tentative -- between what Lord Gifford called ''natural theology'' and modern science. We have featured John Brooke's Science and Religion for years as a basic primer on the relations between the two, and this more recent book extends the discussion through brisk narrative and fascinating anecdote, in order to explore concrete examples -- Newton, Galileo, Darwin, and a host of others equally fascinating but more obscure -- rather than theoretical speculation. Light fade marks at cover edge, very solid. Nº de ref. del artículo: 173964
