Science and Religion in a Postcolonial World : Interfaith Perspectives Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

This book explores several issues in the emerging field of science and religion which are of common interest to different religions.

The main idea underlying this book is that modern science poses challenges shared by religions.

As such, discussing them in an interfaith setting is expected to offer new perspectives to those issues.

The first of four parts of the book addresses issues which often have not been discussed in the science and religion discourse - issues around what may be termed 'customisation of sciences'.

A form o of such customisation is known as the ideas of the Vedic science, and Islamic science.

The secnd part discusses science and the sacred from Islamic and Christian perspectives.

Similarly, the third part takes up those perspectives in discussing religious resonse to new theories in cosmology and biology.

The book ends with an article about the care of the earth, and the creation of sustainble global community, which is proabbly today's biggest challenge for both religion and science.
