The lectures gathered in this collection are all by eminent figures
ifrom both within and beyond science. Intended for a wide audience,
they together illuminate in masterful fashion the most perplexing
problems at the interface of science and religion. Anyone who
believes that this is God's world will find much of compelling
interest here. Others should see the crucial importance for human
reason of the arguments considered.

The revival of the Boyle lectures in the 21st century was a most
imaginative way of connecting the current dialogue between
‘science’ and ‘religion’ (as we now call them) with the original
Boyle lectures, first given in 1692. The first ten Boyle lecturers
of modern times are a roll call of the leading figures in
contemporary world of science and religion, and these lectures are
an excellent and accessible guide to the current debates, covering
physics, evolutionary biology and the human sciences.
*Fraser Watts*
Science and Religion in the 21st Century is an important collection
of Boyle lectures delivered by leading scholars in the interaction
between science, philosophy and theology. Topics range from
evolution and emeregence to cosmology and the psychology of
religious beliefs. I strongly recommend this book to scholars and
the general public interested in cutting edge thinking about
science and religion.
*Robert Russell*
