This book explores ways in which Western literature has engaged with
themes found within the field of science and religion, both
historically and in the present day. It focuses on works of the
imagination as important locations at which human arguments, hopes and
fears may be played out. The chapters examine a variety of instances
where scientific and religious ideas are engaged by novelists, poets
and dramatists, casting new light upon those ideas and suggesting
constructive ways in which science and religion may interact. The
contributors cover a rich variety of authors, including Mary Shelley,
Aldous Huxley, R. S. Thomas, Philip Pullman and Margaret Atwood.
Together they form a fascinating set of reflections on some of the
significant issues encountered within the discourse of science and
religion, indicating ways in which the insights of creative artists
can make a valuable and important contribution to that discourse.
