Book excerpt: In Unlikely Allies: Monotheism and the Rise of Science, author Mark Worthing embarks on an intriguing exploration of the historical relationship between religious traditions and the development of the natural sciences. Worthing challenges the commonly held belief that religion, particularly monotheistic religion, is inherently antagonistic towards science. Instead, he argues that monotheism has played a crucial and unique role in fostering the conditions necessary for the emergence and growth of modern science. Worthing's position centres on the idea that monotheism, more broadly than any specific religious tradition, provided a fertile ground for scientific inquiry. He identifies several key features of monotheism that contributed to this environment. Firstly, the belief in a single, rational, and orderly God who created the universe in a rational and orderly way laid the groundwork for the assumption that the natural world is comprehensible and governed by consistent laws. This belief encouraged early scientists to seek out and understand these laws, confident that the universe's creator had imbued it with structure and predictability. Moreover, monotheism's emphasis on the importance of studying and understanding God's creation fostered a spirit of inquiry and exploration. Religious scholars and clerics, motivated by their faith, often engaged in scientific pursuits as a way to glorify God by uncovering the intricacies of his creation. This theological framework provided both the motivation and the justification for scientific endeavours, bridging the gap between faith and reason. Worthing also highlights the historical role of Christianity in particular, noting its significant contributions to the rise of science. While not solely responsible for the development of scientific thought, Christianity played a pivotal role in preserving and transmitting knowledge through monastic communities and early universities. These institutions became centres of learning where religious and scientific studies coexisted and complemented each other. The book provides numerous historical examples to support Worthing's thesis, demonstrating that many prominent early scientists were devout Christians whose faith inspired and guided their scientific work. Figures such as Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei are cited not only for their scientific achievements but also for their deep religious convictions, which influenced their approach to understanding the natural world. In conclusion, Unlikely Allies presents a compelling case for reevaluating the perceived conflict between monotheism and science. Worthing's thorough investigation reveals that, contrary to popular perception, monotheism and the natural sciences have been unlikely allies for over two millennia. By highlighting the historical and philosophical connections between religious belief and scientific inquiry, Worthing invites readers to appreciate the nuanced and mutually enriching relationship that has historically existed between faith and reason. This book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing dialogue about the compatibility of religion and science, offering a nuanced perspective that challenges simplistic and adversarial narratives.

Drawing on his background as a renowned physicist and spiritual thinker, Lodge offers a unique perspective on the complex relationship between faith and reason. The book is a compelling exploration of the ways in which spiritual beliefs and scientific discoveries can complement each other, shedding light on the deeper connections between these seemingly disparate fields. Lodge's work is a valuable contribution to the ongoing dialogue between religion and science, challenging readers to reconsider their assumptions about the nature of reality and the human experience. 'The Substance of Faith Allied with Science' is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, reason, and the quest for truth.

This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While religious phenomena are in some respects singularly constant, they are, nevertheless, as noted for their diversity. While certain essential elements are common to almost all faiths, on the other hand, every individual faith has something peculiar to itself. It not only differs in some respects from other religions, but, as we trace down its history, we find it varying from itself. The Hindoos, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Kelts, Teutons, and Slavs, are shown by philological research to have come originally from a single stock—the primitive Aryan. Their ancestors originally dwelt together in a common home in the neighborhood of the Caspian Sea; and in this ancient time their religion was, probably, one and the same faith, i. e., in substance. Yet how widely diverse have the faiths of these nations come to be, in the four to five thousand years since that ancient home was little by little deserted! How has this diversity come about? What are the forces or influences that differentiate religions?

Book excerpt: "Has science made religion intellectually implausible? Does it rule out the existence of a personal God? In an age of science can we really believe that the universe has a "purpose"? And, finally, doesn't religion hold much of the blame for the present ecological crisis?" "These questions form the nucleus of today's debate between science and religion. This book is a guide for that debate, identifying the questions, isolating the issues and pointing to ways the questions can be resolved." "There are four possible ways, says John F. Haught, that we can view the relationship between religion and science. First, they can stand in complete opposition - the conflict position. Or, we can believe they are so different that conflict is impossible - the contrast position. A third approach holds that while science and religion are distinct, each has important implications for the other. A fourth way views them as different but mutually supportive."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book excerpt: A GOD OF LOVE AND GENOCIDE? For many Christians the problem of violence in Scripture can result in a crisis of faith--especially when we see how such passages have been used throughout history to justify horrific bloodshed in God's name. Moving beyond typical conservative and liberal approaches, which seek to either defend or whitewash over violence in the Bible, Disarming Scripture takes a surprising yet compelling approach: Learning to read the Bible like Jesus did. Along the way the book deals with some very big issues, ranging from passages commanding genocide and infanticide in the Old Testament to passages in the New Testament that have been used to justify slavery, child abuse, and state violence. The take-away is an approach to Scripture that not only sees questioning as an acceptable part of a healthy faith, but as an absolutely essential part of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religions are reemerging in the social, political, and economic spheres previously occupied and dominated by secular institutions and ideologies. In the wake of crises exposing the limits of secular modernity, religions have again become significant players in domestic and international politics. At the same time, the Catholic Church has sought a "holy alliance" among the world's faiths to recentralize devout influence, an important, albeit little-noticed, evolution in international relations. Holy Wars and Holy Alliance explores the nation-state's current crisis in order to better understand the religious resurgence's implications for geopolitics. Manlio Graziano looks at how the Catholic Church promotes dialogue and action linking world religions, and examines how it has used its material, financial, and institutional strength to gain power and increase its profile in present-day international politics. Challenging the idea that modernity is tied to progress and secularization, Graziano documents the "return" or the "revenge" of God in all facets of life. He shows that tolerance, pluralism, democracy, and science have not triumphed as once predicted. To fully grasp the destabilizing dynamics at work today, he argues, we must appreciate the nature of religious struggles and political holy wars now unfolding across the international stage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In author's own words In selecting these essays I have been guided partly by the desire to present matter likely to be of interest to the general reader; but also I have aimed at a certain unity of topic and argument, a unity indicated by the title of the volume. A brief summary may help the reader to grasp that unity and to follow the somewhat scattered argument. Man, I contend, is more than a machine, and more than a mirror that reflects the world about him. He is an active being with power to direct his strivings towards ideal goals; and there is ground for belief that those goals are neither wholly illusory nor wholly unattainable. There is no novelty about this view; but there is novelty in the argument by which the conclusion is reached. The same view has been propounded a thousand times by that form of wishful thinking which is commonly called philosophical. In this case the conclusion has been forced by the pressure of the evidence during more than forty years of cold and sceptical inquiry. The process is indicated in briefest outline in the first three essays of this volume. Any reader who may desire to follow the process in more detail may turn to my various published works, more especially to my Body and Mind, which remains pivotal for all my later thinking.
