Science, Technology & Religion

God for the 21st Century

If you’re looking to investigate the relationships between science and religion in general you’d be hard pressed to go past the book God for the 21st Century. The library managed to interloan me a copy from the Christchurch public library so I’ve been skimming through it.

It’s a collection of 50 short opinion pieces and essays from writers around the world and from different religious perspectives. The essays are brief, easy to read (no footnotes) and cover a good range of positions. The ones of mind and personhood were useful in alterting me to writers to follow up later. A good introduction to some of the current issues in the field.
