Reviews

Now that `post-truth' has dictionary status, Pontius Pilate's cynically rhetorical `What is truth?' arises as a disturbingly real, and really political, question. No longer can academics afford our habitual relativism. What better venue for curating the multiform width of truth-talk than within the dialogue of religion and science? What may seem like a rather esoteric set of transdisciplinary essays bristles from the first page on with vivid and timely examples, communicative clarity, and stunning politico-eco-religio-cultural relevance. -- Catherine Keller, Drew University
