Latin American Perspectives on Science and Religion

'Developments in the area of science and religion have been vast in the English-speaking world, though not so much in other regions, such as Latin America. Ignacio Silva has played a leading role in bringing these develop-ments to the region, and this volume comprises part of his efforts by providing a window into the current state of affairs when it comes to how Latin Americans think about science and religion.'George Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary, Religious Studies Review, Vol 43, Number 1, March 2017.
