Produktbeschreibung

This edited volume offers new and exciting perspectives on the social study of science and religion through current scholarship grounded in Science and Technology Studies (STS). The contributors explore how STS theories, methods, and concepts can be applied to the study of religion, as well as how to incorporate aspects of religion into STS.

The purpose of the volume is to advance the social study of science and religion by fostering the already interdisciplinary nature of the field and to encourage engagement with the intersection between science and religion from a wide range of perspectives.
