Religion, Science and Technology in North America: An Introduction - Hardcover

by Whitney A. Bauman (Editor), Lisa L. Stenmark (Editor)

This book starts by providing the global and historical context needed to understand religion, science and technology in a North American context. Following an introduction to the field, the book explores the complex history of what we call "religion" in relation to what we define as "science." This is followed by chapters exploring key topics such as race, religion and science; secularism; religion and Covid-19; Indigenous communities and colonization; and gender and sexuality.

Illustrated throughout with over 85 images, each chapter ends with guidance on further reading and a glossary of key terms and concepts.

The chapters in this book were first published in the digital collection Bloomsbury Religion in North America. Covering North America's diverse religious traditions, this digital collection provides reliable and peer-reviewed articles and ebooks for students and instructors.
