Midwest Book Review said Thoughtful and thought provoking reading. How To Relate Science And Religion: A Multidimensional Model by Mikael Stenmark (Professor of Philosophy of Religion, Uppsala University, Sweden) introduces the reader to two disparate and seemingly opposing perspectives on the relationship of religion and science
Written by Templeton Prize-winner Mikael Stenmark, How to Relate Science and Religion points an exciting way forward in the effort to reconcile what are arguably the two most powerful cultural forces of our time. Stenmark succinctly lays out the central issues of the debate and shows what is at stake for the nature and advancement of human knowledge.

In this book these opposing views are presented, critically discussed, and replaced with a badly needed conciliatory model of science and religion. Stenmark shows the ongoing though shifting value of both science and religion played out as a dynamic, evolving relationship.. Today there are two very different views concerning the relation of science and religion. On the other hand is the view that science ought to itself be shaped in a significant way by religion
