Book Synopsis The Biological Evolution of Religious Mind and Behavior by : Eckart Voland
Download or read book The Biological Evolution of Religious Mind and Behavior written by Eckart Voland and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-12 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a Darwinian world, religious behavior - just like other behaviors - is likely to have undergone a process of natural selection in which it was rewarded in the evolutionary currency of reproductive success. This book aims to provide a better understanding of the social scenarios in which selection pressure led to religious practices becoming an evolved human trait, i.e. an adaptive answer to the conditions of living and surviving that prevailed among our prehistoric ancestors. This aim is pursued by a team of expert authors from a range of disciplines. Their contributions examine the relevant physiological, emotional, cognitive and social processes. The resulting understanding of the functional interplay of these processes gives valuable insights into the biological roots and benefits of religion.
Book Synopsis Biology Through the Eyes of Faith by : Richard Wright
Download or read book Biology Through the Eyes of Faith written by Richard Wright and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly Revised The Council of Christian Colleges and Universities Series Stressing the biblical message of stewardship, biologist Richard T. Wright celebrates the study of God's creation and examines the interaction of the life sciences with society in medicine, genetics, and the environment. The author brings a biblical perspective to theories on origins, contrasting creationism, intelligent design, and evolution. Highlighting the unique nature of biology and its interaction with Christian thought, Wright demonstrates that Christian stewardship can be the key to a sustainable future. This comprehensive work, one of a series cosponsored by the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, addresses the needs of the Christian student of biology to align science and faith. It demonstrates that the study of biology penetrates to the core of human existence and has much to contribute to the construction of a consistent Christian worldview.
Book Synopsis The Biology of Religious Behavior by : Jay R. Feierman
Download or read book The Biology of Religious Behavior written by Jay R. Feierman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a fresh and detailed take on the evolution of religious behavior from a biobehavioral perspective, promoting a new understanding that may help build bridges across the religious divide. There has been much recent interest in the study of religion from the perspective of Darwinian evolution. The Biology of Religious Behavior: The Evolutionary Origins of Faith and Religion offers a broad overview of the topic, written by internationally recognized experts. In addition to its primary focus on religious behavior, the book addresses other important aspects of religion, such as values, beliefs, and emotions as they affect behavior. The contributors approach the evolution of religion by examining the behavior of individuals in their everyday lives. After describing various religious behaviors, the contributors consider the behaviors with reference to their evolutionary history, development during the lifetime of the individual, proximate causes, and adaptive value. Happily, this foray into understanding religion from a biobehavioral perspective demonstrates that, at the biological and behavioral levels, what unites the different religions of the world is far greater than what divides them.

Book Synopsis The Biology of God by : Sir Alister Clavering Hardy
Download or read book The Biology of God written by Sir Alister Clavering Hardy and published by Jonathan Cape. This book was released on 1975 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A true biology encompassing the whole of life should not ignore man's religious experience which, when better understood, may become as readily acknowledged in the biological system as human affectionate behaviour. Though a convinced Darwinian, Sir Alister Hardy stresses the urgency of appeasing the frustrated desires of our spiritually bereft civilization, and is confident that a reconciliation of religion and the doctrine of natural selection can be effected. Beginning with evolutionary behaviour, he examines what Wallace, Polanyi, Waddington and Piaget have contributed to our knowledge of man's emergent mental life in the evolutionary continuum. He elucidates the theory, confirmed by animal behaviour studies, that biological similarities exist between man's attitude towards God, and the association of dogs with man. If the idea of a biology of God is to be extended toward a more scientific, 'natural' theology, man's experience of what is divine or transcendental l must be systematically studied. For this very purpose Sir Alister Hardy has launched a research unit and Manchester College, Oxford. Into his powerful book he has incorporated the developments of this unit's first burgeoning years, recording its growth into a pioneer field of biological and theological research."-Publisher.
Download or read book Religious Speciation written by Ina Wunn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a consecutive story on the evolution of religions. It starts with an analysis of evolution in biology and ends with a discussion of what a proper theory of religious evolution should look like. It discusses such questions as whether it is humankind or religion that evolves, how religions evolve, and what adaptation of religions means. Topics examined include inheritance and heredity, religio-speciation, hybridization, ontogenetics and epigenetics, phylogenetics, and systematics. Calling attention to unsolved problems and relating the evolutionary subject matter to appropriate material, the book integrates and interprets existing data. Based on the belief that an unequivocal stand is more likely to produce constructive criticism than evasion of an issue, the book chooses that interpretation of a controversial matter which seems most consistent with the emerging picture of the evolutionary process. “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution,” the evolutionary biologist and co-founder of the so-called New Synthesis in Evolutionary Biology, Theodosius Dobszhansky (1900-1975), wrote in his famous essay of 1973, opposing creationism in American society. Today, Dobszhansky’s statement is not only fully accepted in biology, but has become the scientific paradigm in disciplines such as psychology, archaeology and the study of religions. Yet in spite of this growing interest in evolutionary processes in religion and culture, the term "evolution" and the capability of an evolutionary account have to date still not been properly understood by scholars of the Humanities. This book closes that gap.
