Ideal for readers interested in religion, spirituality, philosophy, and the dialogue between science and faith. Suitable for those seeking thoughtful, well-articulated perspectives on how religion continues to shape human culture and understanding.
Jonathan Sacks sets out a clear and forceful argument for the complementary nature of science and religion, drawing on an eclectic range of historical and philosophical arguments to prove the necessity of both if we are to understand the human condition.

Description
Writing with his usual grace and fluency, Jonathan Sacks moves beyond the tired arguments of militant atheists such as Dawkins and Hitchens, to explore how religion has always played a valuable part in human culture. Far from being dismissed as redundant, it must be allowed to temper and develop scientific understanding in order for us to be fully human.
Ranging around the world to draw comparisons from different cultures, and delving deep into the history of language and of Western civilisation, Jonathan Sacks shows how the predominance of science-oriented thinking is embedded deeply even in our religious understanding. He calls on us to recognise the centrality of relationship to true religion, and thus to see how this core value of relationship is essential if we are to avoid the natural tendency for science to rule our lives rather than fulfilling its promise to set us free.

Praised as "the most persuasive argument for religious belief" by Andrew Marr on BBC Radio 4's Start the Week, this book is celebrated for its intelligent and optimistic approach to the coexistence of science and religion by The Times. Further acclaim includes recognition of Jonathan Sacks as one of the most engaging contemporary thinkers and Britain's "most authentically prophetic voice" by The Times and The Daily Telegraph. The Tablet highlights his unique moral authority extending well beyond the Jewish community.
