Description

Tom McLeish explores the intersection of science and faith in this thought-provoking analysis of ancient texts and modern scientific inquiry.

The author draws on stories from chaos theory, medieval philosophy, and the Old Testament Book of Job to challenge conventional assumptions about the relationship between science and religion. He argues that science is not separate from theology, but rather an integral part of a broader narrative of human understanding and reconciliation with nature.

McLeish's work offers insights into the cultural separation of sciences and humanities, and suggests a new approach to science that incorporates theological and cultural roots. This book is relevant to debates about education, decision-making on science and technology, environmental policy, and the role of religion in modern society.
