| Summary: | This book examines an assumption—that science and religion is irreconcilable—and tells the story from the perspective of scientists themselves, using data collected from over 1,600 surveys and 275 interviews. Narratives of 10 men and women who teach at top American research universities in the natural and social sciences are highlighted, and interwoven within their discussions of religion, work, and family are Ecklund's interpretations of the role of spirituality and faith in their personal and professional lives. Individual chapters discuss how scientists handle religion in the classroom, the efforts that have been advanced toward a purely secular university; making room for faith on campus; and what scientists are doing wrong that they could be doing right. |
