Can religious beliefs survive in the scientific age? Are they resoundingly outdated? Or, is there something in them of great importance, even if the way they are expressed will have to change given new scientific context? These questions are among those at the core of the science-religion dialogue.
In The Big Questions in Science and Religion, Keith Ward, an Anglican priest who was once an atheist, offers compelling insights into the often contentious relationship between diverse religious views and new scientific knowledge. He identifies ten basic questions about the nature of the universe and human life. With his expertise in the study of world religions, Ward explores concepts from Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, and Christianity alongside the studies of cosmologists, physicians, mathematicians, and philosophers. In addition, Ward examines the implications of ancient laws and modern theories and evaluates the role of religious experience as evidence of a nonphysical reality.
Spiritual seekers and curious minds of all persuasions will enjoy Ward's enthusiasm, his passion, and, perhaps most of all, his clarity of thought, as he deftly unpacks the greatest intellectual and existential questions of the modern scientific age.
