Formatted contents note Interfaith dialogue has today become an existential necessity for global peace and prosperity. Such dialogue requires some basic common ground. In this fascinating book, Indian Christian scholar Sarojini Henry proposes the encounter between religion/theology and science as a common basis for dialogue between people from different faith backgrounds. Henry remarks that for a long time, under the influence of modern thinking, science was assigned a cognitive superiority, because its tenets were said to be subject to verification, while religion, which was often taken to be subjective, was dismissed by many as irrational. But things are changing today. Henry notes that in recent decades, the conversation between science and religion has become a prominent discourse, engaging the attention of scientists, philosophers and theologians. There have been several attempts to establish a partnership between science and religion in the hope that this may provide greater understanding of the reality in which we live. This partnership needs to take into account diverse religious faiths—each of them has something useful to contribute to the discussion. In the opening chapter, Henry explores diverse ways of envisaging the relationship between science and religion.
