The religion and science dialogue has often been depicted as a conflict. Recent findings from Pew Research have gained widespread attention. Nearly six-in-ten adults (59%) say that science and religion are often in conflict, according to the recently released Pew survey. Researchers also found that of those who attend religious services on a weekly basis, only half share the view that science and religion are frequently in conflict.
In this issue we look more closely at these findings as well as how theological differences hint at new ways of doing faith and science.
Here’s a rundown of what’s in this issue:
- Pentecostal Christianity and science: Whence and whither?
- “Highly” religious adults are less likely to see conflict between religion and science, according to Pew Research
- New book honors Church of Sweden Archbishop’s religion and science contributions
- Dartmouth College unveils new institute with goal of cross-disciplinary engagement
- HIV/AIDS Clergy and Lay Leadership Summit X
