Description
A Quaker Astronomer Reflects: Can a Scientist Also be Religious? This thought-provoking book explores the intersection of science and faith, as renowned astronomer Jocelyn Bell Burnell reflects on her own experiences as a Quaker. The author considers how scientific inquiry can inform and challenge religious beliefs, and vice versa. The book is part of the 2013 James Backhouse Lecture Series, sponsored by the Society of Friends (Quakers in Australia). Its themes are relevant to many people who grapple with the relationship between science and their spiritual lives. With its concise and accessible style, this book offers a valuable perspective on a complex issue.
