The result is an intellectually stimulating volume that explores how the ideas of nature pertain to science and religion. \u003c\/p\u003e Editor James D. Proctor has gathered sixteen in-depth essays, each examining and comparing five central metaphors or \"visions\" of biophysical and human nature. These visions are evolutionary nature, emergent nature, malleable nature, nature as sacred, and nature as culture. The book's diverse contributors offer a wide variety of unique perspectives on these five visions, spanning the intellectual spectrum and proposing important and often startling implications for religion and science alike. Throughout the essays, the authors do a great deal of cross-referencing and engaging each other's ideas, creating a cohesive dialogue on the visions of nature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnvisioning Nature, Science, and Religion\u003c\/i\u003e offers a blend of scholarly rigor and readable prose that will be appreciated by anyone engaged in the fields of religion, philosophy, and the natural sciences. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Proctor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1599473143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781599473147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Templeton Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2010","brand":"Jim Proctor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447938953471,"sku":"9781599473147","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa6b303f-079c-434f-893e-d3c280db4496.jpg?v=1777235838","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/envisioning-nature-science-and-religion-jim-proctor-9781599473147","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
