Gods and Religions vs Science
Religions, beliefs, and spirituality are well catered for at Wellington City Libraries, as well as the supernatural. In Gods, genes and consciousness : non-human intervention in human history, the influence of ‘Advanced Beings’ over humanity’s myths and history is explored. The Qur’an is regarded by Muslims as the direct word of God, and Mona Siddiqui considers how the scripture of Islam has been understood by Muslims in the intellectual traditions of Islam as well as in popular worship. Making the Hours : English people and their prayers 1240-1570 explores the difficult, controversial topic of the private devotional life of England. AD 33 : the year that changed the world reveals what the world that saw the inauguration of Christianity was like, and allows the reader to obtain a vivid picture of the year of Jesus’ death. The Oxford handbook of religion and science introduces the long lasting debate between religion and science, with each chapter defending and attacking some major intellectual positions.
