Magisteria

Nicholas Spencer's 'Magisteria' delves into the intertwined histories of science and religion, dismantling the widespread belief in their perpetual conflict.

The book seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and popular understanding, revealing the nuanced relationship between these two domains.

Spencer uncovers a controlling theme: the concept of the human and who has the authority to define it.

Points of tension between science and religion often stem from disagreements about understanding human nature.

By examining historical and philosophical perspectives, Spencer challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about the relationship between science and religion.
