Reviews

I would highly recommend Science without God? to anyone who is interested in the relationship between science and religion and/or the history of scientific naturalism.
*Nathan Bossoh, UCL/RI, Science & Christian Belief, Vol 33, No. 2*

This is a book for scholars with a serious interest in the relationship between religion and science.
*C.G. Wood, CHOICE*

this anthology provides a highly informative historical survey of the complicated tri-relation between science, naturalism, and theology. It can be recommended to anyone who is considering the emergence of scientific naturalism, its implications for theology, and the place of God in science.
*Mikael Leidenhag, Philosophy, Theology and the Sciences*

The book is an excellent source if one wishes to know anything about the religious and supernatural commitments and motivations of scientists over the course of the last 2,500 years. It deserves also to be noted that there is an impressive consistency in style throughout, with some of the authors even drawing parallels between their own arguments and those found in other chapters.
*Tiddy Smith, Journal of the American Academy of Religion*

Peter Harrison and Jon H. Roberts provide a highly compelling alternative history of the sciences and their relation to naturalism that will be of direct relevance to contemporary philosophical arguments about the nature of scientific explanation and the enduring importance of religious belief.
*Jamie Boulding, University of Leeds, Religious Studies*
