Reviews
A rich introductory text...on the study of relations of science and religion. * R. P. Whaite, Metascience *
A marvellous book that should be required reading for dogmatic fundamentalists of every persuasion. * Patricia Fara, British Journal for the History of Science *
Dixon shows great skill in composing a book which combines coherence and clarity with a strong forward momentum... The interested reader need not hesitate. * Michael Fuller, The Expository Times *
Bracing initiation * Observer. *
The relationship between science and religion, past and present, is much more varied and more interesting than the popular caricature of conflict. Thomas Dixon gives us the richer picture, and he does it with clarity and verve. This is an ideal introduction to a fascinating subject. * Peter Lipton. University of Cambridge *
Thomas Dixon has made a delightful contribution to this OUP series of Very Short Introductions. * Church Times *
