TAILIEUCHUNG - Encyclopedia of science and religion

The dialogue between science and religion is one of the most prominent and visible discourses of our time. The complex but enduring relationship between the sciences and diverse world religions has now transformed itself into what some are calling a new scholarly field of science and religion. This multifaceted conversation has developed into a sustained and dynamic discourse with direct implications for contemporary culture. This discourse affects all religions, in both their intellectual and social dimensions. It also analyzes, supports, and constrains the global impact of the sciences of our times | ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION Editor in Chief J. Wentzel Vrede van Huyssteen James I.
