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 Are they resoundingly outdated?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

Der Autor ist Professor für Wissenschaftsgeschichte an der Universität Heidelberg und hat bereits eine Vielzahl an Werken publiziert. In diesem Buch geht es ihm um das Verhältnis zwischen Naturwissenschaft und Religion. Er nimmt den Leser mit auf eine spannende Zeitreise durch die Geschichte der Wissenschaft von der Antike bis heute, von Thales über Augustinus zu den Alchemisten im Mittelalter, von der Blütezeit der islamischen Wissenschaft über Galilei und Newton bis hin zu Darwin, von Alexander von Humboldt über den religiösen Max Planck zu Einstein und weiter zu den Molekularbiologen. Stets beleuchtet er - mitunter auch kritisch -, wie Religion und Wissenschaft sich im Laufe der Zeit gegenseitig begünstigt oder aber auch behindert haben oder welche Rolle der Glaube für einzelne Wissenschaftler spielte. Religion und Wissenschaft, so seine These, sind komplementär miteinander verbunden. Ein interessantes, sachkundig verfasstes Werk mit einer klaren Meinung

This study aims to determine the optimization of the implementation of mediation in the Gorontalo Religious Court. This research is a field research with data collection methods in the form of observations, interviews and documentation. Data's were analyzed using qualitative descriptive.

Psychology, Religion, and Spirituality provides readers with a critical overview of what psychology tells us about religion and spirituality. It is concise without being simplistic, and the first such broad overview to be published for some years. Fraser Watts recognizes that 'religion' is complex and multi-faceted, taking different forms in different people and contexts. The book presents a broad view of psychology; whatever kind of psychology you are interested in, you will find it covered here, from biological to social, and from experimental to psychoanalytic. It focuses particularly on the varied concepts that psychologists have employed to make sense of religion and subjects them to critical examination. The book is also concerned with practical applications, helping those engaged in religious ministry. It will be of interest to undergraduates and general readers, as well as specialists in religious studies, psychology, and philosophy of religion.

Religion has largely remained unexplored in development studies. This timely new book aims to fill that gap. The authors expertly review how religion has been treated in the evolution of development thought, how it has been conceptualised in the social sciences, and highlights the major deficiencies of the assumption of secularism. "Development practice is full of examples of the importance of religion in the lives of people in developing countries. However, religion has largely remained unexplored in development studies. This timely new book aims to fill that gap. The authors expertly review how religion has been treated in the evolution of development thought, how it has been conceptualised in the social sciences, and highlights the major deficiencies of the assumption of secularism. The book argues that development theory and practice needs to rewrite its dominant script regarding its treatment of religion, a script which has so far been heavily inscribed in the secular tradition. It puts forward an understanding of religions as traditions: that religions rest on central thesis and teachings which never cease to be re-interpreted in the light of the social, political and historical context. In addition to providing a conceptual framework for analysing the role of religion in development, the book provides numerous empirical examples drawn from the Christian and Islamic religious traditions. This comprehensive new guide to this key issue is essential for students, development thinkers and practitioners who wish to understand better the role taht religion plays in development processes and outcomes."--Publisher description
