Over the last two decades, scientific accounts of religion have received a great deal of scholarly and popular attention both because of their intrinsic interest and because they are widely seen as potentially constituting a threat to the religion they analyse. The Believing Primate aims to describe and discuss these scientific accounts as well as to assess their implications. The volume begins with essays by leading scientists in the field, describing theseaccounts and discussing evidence in their favour. Philosophical and theological reflections on these accounts follow, offered by leading philosophers, theologians, and scientists. This diverse group of scholars address some fascinating underlying questions: Do scientific accounts of religion undermine thejustification of religious belief? Do such accounts show religion to be an accidental by-product of our evolutionary development? And, whilst we seem naturally disposed toward religion, would we fare better or worse without it? Bringing together dissenting perspectives, this provocative collection will serve to freshly illuminate ongoing debate on these perennial questions.

Poder descifrar el origen de la religión en la naturaleza humana y su fundamento en la razón es uno de los temas antropológicos más interesantes y polémicos de la modernidad. Sin embargo, 250 años después de Hume y 150 años después de Darwin, este crucial y fascinante debate entre la religión y las ciencias naturales sigue siendo un tema poco tratado en la vida cívica e intelectual.El primate creyente lanza una serie de cuestiones que invitan a la discusión y reflexión sobre este tema. El libro comienza con una introducción que repasa el panorama teórico y comenta los puntos más importantes de cada una de las áreas religiosas y científicas, y continúa con una serie de capítulos que describen y defienden varias aproximaciones para explicar la religión desde una perspectiva evolucionista. Finalmente, algunas secciones —las cuales incluyen contribuciones de filósofos, teólogos y científicos del comportamiento— lidian con las implicaciones de las teorías actuales.Desde una perspectiva claramente interdisciplinar, el lector se verá estimulado por las cuestiones que aquí se plantean y que surgen después de más de un siglo de debate, en los que se ha pasado de buscar las interpretaciones religiosas de la evolución a plantear, dando un vuelco al tema, las interpretaciones evolucionistas de la religión.
