Magisteria: The Entangled History of Science and Religion

2min

Daisy Scalchi, BBC Head of Religion and Ethics for Television, turns the tables on Reading our Times host Nick Spencer and talks to him about his book Magisteria: The Entangled Histories of Science and Religion

Science and religion have a long history. According to some, it's a history of warfare; to others they are (or at least should be) non-overlapping.

Nick Spencer argues that neither view is right, and that the two have long been entangled, especially over the questions of what do we think of the human, and who gets to say.
