Most of the things that people believe about science and religion are myths or half-truths that emerged in the late 19th century and continue to be widely accepted today.
A thoroughly researched history of the interplay between these two ways of understanding the world.
ECONOMIST, BEST BOOKS OF 2023
The true history of science and religion is a human one. It's about the role of religion in inspiring and stifling science before the scientific revolution. It's about the sincere but eccentric faith and the quiet, creeping doubts of the most brilliant scientists in history—Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Darwin, Maxwell, and Einstein. Above all, it's about the question of what it means to be human and who gets to say—a question that is more urgent in the 21st century than ever before.
From eighth-century Baghdad to the frontiers of AI today, via medieval Europe, 19th-century India, and Soviet Russia, Magisteria sheds new light on this complex historical landscape. Rejecting the thesis that science and religion are inevitably at war, Nicholas Spencer illuminates a compelling and troubled relationship that has definitively shaped human history.
