Summary; A course of eight lectures delivered at Cambridge in 1943. In his introduction Dr Raven suggests that science and religion, as the most formative influence in the educational and the intellectual life of the world, share responsibility for the outbreak of world-wide war: 'Somehow the people responsible for education, for shaping and propagating ideas and for developing civilisation have allowed science and religion to become antagonistic with results disastrous to them both and devastating to the life of men. It is the purpose of the first four of these lectures to indicate the history of that disaster; and of the second four to consider how, if at all, it may be retrieved.' Subjects; Religion and science - (1900-). Religion and science - History. Religion and science - History of controversy. Mathematics / General. Technology & Engineering / General. Science / General. Genre; Bibliography. 1 Kg.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous relationship between science and religion, exploring how their perceived conflict shaped intellectual and social landscapes, especially during the pivotal period of the 17th century. The author examines the rise of the "New Philosophy," the scientific method championed by Francis Bacon, and its impact on the prevailing worldview of the time, one heavily influenced by medieval Christianity and its interpretation of scripture. The book explores how the scientific revolution, initially seen as a complement to religious understanding of the universe, eventually became viewed as a rival force, leading to a clash between traditional beliefs and the new ways of knowing. Through insightful analysis, the author reveals how early scientists, often devout Christians themselves, saw their scientific inquiries as a means to deepen their understanding of God's creation, not as a threat to faith. The author delves into the historical context of these developments, tracing the roots of the perceived conflict to the rigid adherence to a pre-scientific worldview within the church, and highlighting the challenges posed by the scientific method's emphasis on observation, experimentation, and rational inquiry. The book offers a nuanced and compelling perspective on the complex interactions between science and religion, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to knowledge and understanding.
