The Territories of Science and Religion by Peter Harrison
The conflict between science and religion seems indelible, even eternal. Surely two such divergent views of the universe have always been in fierce opposition? The author illuminates alternative boundaries and known relations between them thereby making it possible for you to learn from their true history, and more.
"Considering important turning points in a long swath of Western history from the classical world to the present, Harrison analyzes past activities connected to our present understanding of science and religion, including natural philosophy, theology, belief, and doctrineArguing cogently and persuasively on a vital topic, The Territories of Science and Religion is a much-needed scholarly work." (Ann Taves, University of California, Santa Barbara)
