Beskrivning

Buddhist/Christian dialogue has rarely touched on its interaction with science, yet its importance has immense implications. Buddhist-Christian Dialogue in an Age of Science offers a fresh and exciting view on the ideas, themes, and people engaged in the three-way dialogue between Christianity, Buddhism and the natural sciences. Ingram's comprehensive yet accessible scholarship is uniquely solid in both religion and science, and has the gift of making complex theories understandable. Providing these three different perspectives will be useful for anyone interested in the relationship between religion and science.

Recensioner i media

The dialogue between science and religion and the dialogue between religious traditions have usually been carried out independently. In this remarkable and clearly written volume Ingram has shown the value of combining them. He has compared a variety of Christian and Buddhist authors in their responses to a range of scientific theories—from cosmology and quantum physics to evolutionary biology and neuroscience—and indicates how people in both religious traditions can gain insights from each other, despite their difference and sometimes because of them.
