| adam_text | What are religions? Why is it important to understand them?
One answer is that religions and religious believers are extremely bad news:
they are deeply involved in conflicts around the globe; they harm people of
whom they disapprove; and they often seem irrational.
Another answer claims that they are in fact extremely good news: religious
beliefs and practices are universal and so fundamental in human nature that
they have led us to great discoveries in our explorations of the cosmos and
of who we are. The sciences began as part of that religious exploration.
John Bowker demonstrates that there is truth in both answers and that we
need both, in order to understand what religion is and why it matters. He
draws on many disciplines - from physics, genetics and the neurosciences
to art, anthropology and the history of religions - to show how they shed
entirely new light on religion in the modern world.
JOHN BOWKER is an emeritus professor at Gresham College, London.
He has also been a Fellow and dean of Trinity College, Cambridge, and
Professor of Religious Studies at the universities of Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
and North Carolina State. He is the author or editor of more than fortv
J
books, including Problems of Suffering in Religions of the World; The
Meanings of Death (winner of the HarperCollins Book Prize, 1993); Is
God a Virus? Genes, Culture and Religion; The Oxford Dictionary of World
Religions; God: A Brief History; Beliefs That Changed the World and Knowing
the Unknowable: Science and Religions on God and the Universe.
