At
the instigation of a friend, I'm shopping an edited book that will
provide a new set of methodological tools for the study of religion,
science and technology. All too often, the study of religion and
science founders in attempts to reconcile the allegedly converging
truths of science and religion. This book avoids that problem by
working through new ways to do research in the field. As is obvious
from the title, I also hope to renew interest in the position of
technology in the study of religion and science. The book
also provides contemporary examples of non-western religious traditions'
interaction with science and technology. Theoretical
approaches come from anthropology, economics, history, religious
studies, and theology.
Confirmed contributors include Geoffrey Cantor, Stefan Helmreich, Jeff
Horn, Stephen Kaplan, Bruno Latour, Stephen McGrath, Robert Nelson,
Rabbi Larry Troster, and several others. |
