Description

This survey starts by providing the global and historical context needed to understand religion, science and technology in the North American context. Topics explored include Race, Religion and Science; Religion, Science and Secularism; and Technology, Medicine, Ethics and Religion. The book considers the relationship between Religion, Science and Covid-19, the implications of vaccination, and the question of debating gender. Attention is paid to Peyote Religion/Native American religion, and consideration given to the question of non-Indigenous scholars studying Indigenous knowledge. The book is illustrated throughout with over 75 images, and a glossary of key terms and concepts is provided. Each chapter ends with guidance on further reading.
