| Summary: | Mikael Stenmark has written a very clear account of ways in which science and religion can be related and himself offered a multidimensional approach to what is ultimately a more complex issue than is often portrayed., Stenmark identifies three trends found in the academy today, which he calls scientific expansionism, religious expansionism, and scientific and religious restrictionism. Scientific expansionists aim to answer questions formerly thought the province of religion; religious expansionists want to impose religious assumptions on science; and restrictionists argue that neither should interfere with the other's area of enquiry. Exemplars of these include, respectively, Richard Dawkins, Alvin Plantinga, and Stephen Jay Gould. |
