Overview
"""Spiritual Information"" is a collection of one hundred essays that explore a portion of the vast interdisciplinary approaches to the study of science and religion. The essays show how the study of ourselves, our planet and the universe help us understand our place as spiritual beings within God's universe. This book is a tribute to Sir John Templeton and his pioneering commitment toward new research that results in ""one hundredfold more spiritual information than humankind has ever possessed before"". It begins with essays that reflect on Sir John's principal domains of interest and expertise: free-enterprise-based finance and accelerating spiritual progress. Other sections include essays on the science-religion dialogue, cosmology, physics, and astronomy, biological evolution, social evolution, religion and health, and theology and philosophy."
