Issues in Science and Theology: Constructions of Narrative in Science and Religion
Louise Hickman | Michael Fuller | Mark Harris | Joanna Leidenhag
Religion / Religion & Science
This interdisciplinary volume arises out of the 2024 conference of the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology, held in Split, Croatia. Building on work in literature and textual studies, this book offers a series of provocations that deepen our understanding of narrative, theology, and science. A diverse array of narrative forms are examined, from science fiction (including science fiction cinema and AI narratives), to poetry, opera libretti, parables, and images in popular science magazines. These are used to develop new insights for theological, philosophical, scientific, and ethical inquiry, including questions about knowledge, humanness, flourishing, and purpose. The material gathered here will be of substantial value to those interested in science and religion, religious studies, philosophy, literature, art, and theology.
Louise Hickman is Reader in the Philosophy of Religion and Head of Humanities at Birmingham Newman University, UK. She has published on various aspects of the history of philosophy, the philosophy of religion, and science and religion, including two edited collections and her book Eighteenth Century Dissent and Cambridge Platonism (Routledge, 2017).
Michael Fuller is a lecturer in Science and Religion at the University of Edinburgh, UK, and an Honorary Canon of St Mary's Cathedral. He has also written about theology and music, and theology and literature. His most recent publication is the edited volume Science and Religion in Western Literature (Routledge 2023).
Mark Harris is Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at the University of Oxford, Director of the Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion, and Professorial Fellow at Harris Manchester College. In physics, he is known as the co-discoverer of 'spin ice', and while he continues with some of this work, most of his research now focuses on the complex interactions between the physical sciences and religious belief.
Joanna Leidenhag is an Associate Professor in Theology and Philosophy at the University of Leeds. Her first book, Minding Creation, was published with Bloomsbury/T&T Clark in 2021. Other aspects of her research include theological understandings of autism, and how the natural and psychological sciences can be used as a constructive resource for theological reflection.
