New publications in science and religion from Blackwell Publishers:
SCIENCE AND RELIGION: AN INTRODUCTION
ALISTER E. McGRATH
This text introduces readers to the interaction of science and
religion. It is designed for students on science and religion
courses who have little or no prior knowledge in either area. The
book looks at the historical, theological, philosophical and
scientific aspects of the interaction of science and religion. It is
thoroughly up to date and includes coverage of issues raised by
Richard Dawkins concerning evolution, and the 'anthropic principle'
in relation to cosmology.
Publication: September 1998
THE FOUNDATIONS OF DIALOGUE IN SCIENCE AND RELIGION
ALISTER E. McGRATH
This exploration of the relationship between religion and the
natural sciences focuses on Christianity as a case study. The
book explores the way in which religions and the natural sciences
differ from one another and yet converge in a number of areas.
McGrath develops the agenda set out by Thomas F. Torrance in
his 1969 work Theological Science.
Publication: September 1998
RATIONALITY AND RELIGION
ROGER TRIGG
Rationality and Religion deals with the fundamental questions
facing religion: the existence of different religions, the relation
between science and religion, how religion should be treated in a
pluralistic society. It is a powerful contribution to contemporary
debate.
Publication: July 1998
DOES YOUR LIBRARY SUBSCRIBE TO ZYGON?
Zygon focuses on the questions of meaning and values that
challenge individual and social existence today. It brings together
the best thinking of the day from the physical, biological, and
social sciences with ideas from philosophy, theology, and religious
studies. The journal's contributors seek to keep united what may
often become disconnected: values with knowledge, goodness
with truth, religion with science.
