Synopsis
Shortlisted for the Templeton Foundation Prize for Outstanding Books in Theology and Natural Sciences
John Brooke and Geoffrey Cantor discuss exciting developments in the sciences, whether in Big Bang cosmology, chaos theory or genetic engineering, in relation to moral and spiritual questions.
Contemporary discussion can, however, be blind if it ignores previous forms of engagement between science and religion. In their Gifford Lectures the authors argue that not one but several historical approaches are required to achieve critical perspective and balanced understanding. Accordingly, each chapter demonstrates the value of a particular historical method.
Ranging from alchemy to new-age philosophies, from the Galileo affair to the Darwinian controversies, this is an indispensable and highly accessible book for all interested in science and religion.

Review
“A historical analysis of the engagement of science and religion is the result of the 1995 through 1996 Gifford Lectures at Glasgow by two notables in this expanding interdisciplinary field. In Reconstructing Nature (1998), John Brooke, a professor of science-and-religion at Oxford University, and Geoffrey Cantor, a professor of the history of science at the University of Leeds, demonstrate how complex the relationship is between these two fields.” –Science & Theology News, November 2004 (Science $ Theology News)
