An investigation of life science and world religions, and how the two intersect.
In Life Science and Religions, Kieran Burns uses Christianity's story of the fall of Adam and Eve and the curse of painful childbirth as a starting point to explore the relationship between religion and life science. Over the course of this study, Burns covers Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Taoism. He discusses topics such as evolution, human suffering, and the notions of healing and perfection. He even looks at what science has to say about spiritual apparitions like Our Lady of Zeitoun, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Our Lady of Lourdes. This thought-provoking study is sure to interest both students and armchair scholars.More details
