Synopsis

This book provides a unique exploration of the relationship between religious and scientific thought. Arguing that these two modes of thought are complementary, Barnes delineates the successive stages of the co-evolution of religious and scientific thought in the West, from the preliterate culture of antiquity up to the present day.

Review


"Well documented and broadly convincing.... [Barnes] has an admirable habit of taking his critics seriously, itself an inducement to take his carefully measured answers equally seriously." --Times Literary Supplement


"I doubt that I will be able to get the book out of my mind, because its implications for the science-religion interface where I work are so profound and pervasive. Whether I am thinking about the nature of myth, the concept of God, or the differences between religion and theology, the argument presented here will be impossible to dismiss." --The Journal of Religion
