Science and Religion in Education offers a fascinating and diverse collection of chapters surveying the current state of thinking about how science and religion can be understood in education. The book offers a wealth of thought-provoking material for anyone interested in the natures of science and religion, their relationship(s), or their representation within the curriculum.
- Professor Keith Taber, University of Cambridge
Science education and religious education are uncomfortable bedfellows. This book, written in part as a response to the - perhaps too clear - accounts of Ian Barbour, provides suitably nuanced pictures of how science and religion are dealt with in schools. Whatever the views of specialists, young people 'receive' an education in both science and religion: hearing their voices is refreshing in such a serious academic account.
-Julian Stern, Professor of Education and Religion, York St John University
Humans have long endeavored to make sense of the world often using science and religion. Yet, these two great traditions are frequently seen as incompatible. This useful volume features thoughtful contributions from experts whose work straddles the divide and provides educators with arguments, engaging strategies and historical perspectives to help build a bridge and allow a fruitful discussion in schools.
- William F. McComas, Distinguished Professor of Science Education, University of Arkansas
Equal parts critical examination of existing models for the relationship between science and religion, scholarly exposition of newer models, and insights toward practical application in classrooms, this book is an invaluable resource for science and religion educators. If you have been thinking it is time we looked beyond Barbour's taxonomy, you will want to read this book. If you havenot, I implore you to read this book.
