Due to the nature of how I make use of books like this one (read, absorb, formulate my thoughts, write about it, then repeat the process) it may take me the rest of the year to finish it, BUT I find it fascinating.

Science and Religion seems to be simultaneously too simple and too complicated. Each chapter responds to a question that is scientific/philosophic from four viewpoints along a spectrum ranging from "science and religion can't be buddies" to "science and religion would not work without each other."

I've taken a couple classes centered around the idea of dialogue with science and religion. Most of the books I've read for these classes are written from the liberal theology camp. Its a good run down of multiple views on the science/religion dialogue. As an atheist I still enjoyed the book as a snap shot of present day theology. To me its interesting to see how theology evolves in the face of changing cultural values/scientific discoveries etc.
This is one of the best-crafted and most sensitively written books on science and religion. The author lays out many of the "conflicts" between science and religion, and then one by one shows how they can be seen to be illusions of either trying to read religious scriptures and literature as scientific texts, or trying to hold that scientific results can "prove" or "disprove" the existence of God or can be the basis of morals.
