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. Individually and together, the essays show how the study of ourselves, our planet, and the universe helps us understand our place as spiritual beings within God’s universe. The 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-enterprisebased finance and accelerating spiritual progress. Themes of the sections are: Science-Religion Dialogue Cosmology, Physics, and Astronomy Mathematics, Musicology, and Speculation Biological Evolution—the Human Being Social Evolution—the Human Mind and Heart Religion and Health The Nature of the Divine Theology and Philosophy Faith Traditions “Sir John’s leadership has enabled us to edge evercloser to the frontier where knowledge meets wisdom at the threshold of ‘ultimate reality,’” notes the editor in the preface to this volume. As Spiritual Information presents an overview of how far we have come in the science and religion dialogue, it also opens windows to the vast possibilities for additional research and further advances in spiritual information. About the Author: Charles L. Harper Jr. has served as executive director and senior vice president of the John Templeton Foundation since September 1996. In this position, he focuses on developing strategic leadership and building constructive bridges between science and religion. He has published more than fifty research contributions in scientific publications that have spanned a wide range of topics, including “big bang” nucleosynthesis; the age and chemical evolution of the galaxy; the origin of the solar system; the formation of the Earth, moon, and Mars; and the early geological history of Earth and its core, crust, oceans, and atmosphere. |
