Recensioner i media

"Sweetman's work is a brilliant, lucid, fair and balanced introduction to the historical and contemporary relationship between science and religion. His non-polemical, even-handed book should engage all those with interests in philosophy of science, philosophy of religion, and the vexing question in the history of ideas and culture about whether religion and science are or can be friends or foes." -- Charles Taliaferro, Professor of Philosophy, St. Olaf College, MN, USA.
