Description

This is the third edition of a standard textbook in Religion and Science - which is already a classic! "God, Humanity and the Cosmos", first published 1999, revised and expanded edition 2005, remains the only full-length textbook of the science-religion debate. It is divided in five 'books'. The first covers overarching issues in the history of the science-religion interaction, the theology of creation and the philosophy of science. The second looks in depth at the three most prominent areas of interaction - physics, evolutionary biology, and psychology. The third looks at contemporary theological resources for engaging with the science-religion interaction, both within and outside the Christian tradition, and at God's action in the world as a test-case for scientifically-informed theology. The final book considers areas of particular topical concern - how science and religion interact in secondary education, what issues are raised by 'the new atheists', what particular issues are raised by science for Islamic thinking, what challenges are thrown up by the human use of technology, and specifically by climate change. The final, brief 'book' consists of a short set of predictions about the future development of the field.

Media Reviews

"Bringing together an all-British cast of eight academics with specialties in theology, biochemistry, genetics and science education, Southgate has designed a resource ideal for science-and-religion courses. Several student or reader exercises are spread throughout the text." (Science & Theology News, October 2005) 'makes a good read for someone wishing to find a balance between religious teachings and scientific findings' (Methodist Recorder) 'This new edition [is] the most broadly-based, maturely considered and lucidly written science-religion overview in the English language. For me, as for Arthur Peacocke, quoted on the cover, it is "an irreplaceable resource".' (Neil Spurway, ESSSAT News 16.2)"
