Faith and Wisdom in Science by Tom Mcleish
Takes a fresh approach to the 'science and religion' debate, taking a scientist's reading of the enigmatic and beautiful Book of Job as a centrepiece, and asking what science might ultimately be for. Rather than conflicting with faith, science can be seen as a deeply religious activity.
..a detailed investigation of the biblical foundations of a theology of nature. * Jaime Tatay, Science, Religion and Theology *
Tom McLeish is Professor of Physics and Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research at Durham University.
