About this title

Synopsis

* Uses Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and the Baha’i Faith as a foundation for discussion of development issues

What do the realms of faith, science, and the world of international development have to offer one another? This book’s contributors, each a scientist as well as a person of faith, tackle this question by showing how religious belief and personal faith can be deeply motivational and fruitful in scientific and development pursuits. This work furthers the search for a more "people-centered" model of development and for a scientific practice that supports tolerance, sustainability, peace, and justice for all.

Review

"This is a fascinating and highly informative book on a topic that is vital for our day. The authors show how urgent it is for us to recognize the fundamental links between science, religion and commerce. The authenticity of their contributions and their openness about their own experience makes the book extremely accessible and inspiring."
