Can science and religion coexist in harmony? Or is conflict inevitable? In this volume an
international team of distinguished scholars addresses these enduring yet urgent questions by
examining the lives of thirteen eminent twentieth-century scientists whose careers were marked
by the interaction of science and religion: Rachel Carson Charles A. Coulson Theodosius
Dobzhansky Arthur S. Eddington Albert Einstein Ronald A. Fisher Julian Huxley Pascual
Jordan Robert A. Millikan Ivan P. Pavlov Michael I. Pupin Abdus Salam and Edward O.
Wilson. The richly empirical studies show a diversity of creative engagements between science
and religion that defy efforts to set the two at odds.
