God, Life, and the Cosmos: Christian and Islamic
Perspectives is the first book in which Christian and
Muslim scholars explore the frontiers of science-religion
discourse. Leading international scholars present new
work on key issues in science and religion from Christian
and Islamic perspectives.
Following an introduction by the editors, the book is
divided into three sections: the first explores the
philosophical issues in science-religion discourse; the
second examines cosmology; the third analyses the issues
surrounding bioethics. One of the first books to explore
aspects of science-religion discourse from the
perspective of two religious traditions, God, Life, and
the Cosmos opens up new vistas to all interested in
science and religion, and those exploring contemporary
issues in Christianity and Islam. |
