内容説明

We think we know the meaning of "environment" and its relation to ourselves, our faith and our history. This collection of essays, by eminent theologians, historians, and scientists re-examines the world we live in and assesses the impact of our physical, spiritual and social environment on modern thought. Each chapter is linked by quotations from the first Glasgow Gifford Lecturer, Max Muller, and the whole is edited and introduced by Neil Spurway. The volume includes contributions from the physicist-cosmologist, John Barrow; the evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins; the historian, John Roberts; the philosopher, Anthony Kenny; and the theologians, Don Cupitt and Archbishop John Habgood. "Humanity, Environment and God" surveys one of the most critical philosophical issues of our age: what are the conditions in which humankind finds itself and what should our responses to those conditions be. Its perspectives from science, history, religion and philosophy provide an examination of those issues.
