Description: From the Renaissance on, there have been recurrent conflicts between science and religion, whether the science was the new astronomy of the seventeenth century or biological evolution in the nineteenth. The author here discusses the misunderstandings resulting from the misuse of science against religion, and equally unbalanced reactions found in atheistic agnosticism and Christian fideism. He proposes a reconciliation of science and religion, based on recognition of the immanence of God in the phenomenal world.
Notes: Includes bibliographies.
