The second edition of Gary Ferngren's edited volume, Science and religion: a historical introduction, addresses a real need in the historiography and pedagogy of science and religion . . . the additions to the second edition of Ferngren's Science and religion constitute a significant improvement. * Metascience * . . . there are plenty of quality contributions here to justify purchase by those looking for an overview of the field or as use within an undergraduate classroom . . . * Reading Religion * This second edition is more expansive and more in tune with contemporary discussions . . . For those who wish to get a good overview of the present status of science and religion as viewed by contemporary historians of science, this is a good book. It could also serve as an intellectually challenging introduction for undergraduates in a science/religion course. -- Arie Leegwater, Calvin College * Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith *
