BookTom McLeish
A physicist reads science as a longstanding human vocation of lament, imagination, and wisdom, including sustained engagement with Job.
BookJerry A. Coyne
Evolutionary biologist Jerry A. Coyne argues that science and religion conflict not only over particular claims such as creation but over their methods for deciding what is true. He surveys evolution, cosmology, prayer, miracle claims, accommodationist arguments, and attempts to separate religious meaning from empirical fact, contending that faith permits confidence without proportionate evidence while science institutionalizes doubt, testing, and revision.
BookRonald L. Numbers
Edited by Ronald Numbers, this collection tests twenty-five recurring claims about science and religion against historical evidence. Its distinctive value is showing that the relationship has been conflictual, cooperative, and entangled in ways slogans obscure.
BookPeter Harrison
Historian Peter Harrison argues that ‘science’ and ‘religion’ are not timeless, stable entities that have always related through either conflict or harmony. He traces how premodern ideas of natural philosophy, theology, virtue, and inner religion changed into modern categories, making today's familiar debate possible and often projecting it backward.
BookIan G. Barbour
A concise public-facing version of Barbour’s influential framework for understanding science–religion relationships.
