This book investigates the nature and relevance of conjunctive explanations in the context of science and religion. It explores questions concerning how scientific and religious explanations for features of the world or phenomena within it relate to each other and whether they might work together in mutually enriching ways. The chapters address topics including the relationship between Darwinian and teleological explanations, non-reductive explanations of mind and consciousness, and explanations of Christian faith and religious experience, while others explore theological and philosophical issues concerning the nature and feasibility of conjunctive explanations. Overall, the contributions help to provide conceptual clarity on how scientific and religious explanations might or might not work together conjunctively as well as exploring how these ideas relate to specific topics in science and religion more generally.

Reviews for Conjunctive Explanations in Science and Religion

“[Conjunctive Explanations in Science and Religion] exemplifies outstanding scholarship in science, religion, and science and religion since all authors are erudite in multiple disciplines and skilful in conveying their positions in a persuasive manner. […] This book serves as an excellent guide to navigating one of the most fundamental questions in the field of science and religion, namely the meaning of explanation and its various levels […] Readers who can unpack this book will undoubtedly profit much from its rich content and wide scope.” - Zishang Yue in Philosophy, Theology and the Sciences “This edited volume explores the potential of conjunctive explanations formed by conjoining scientific and religious explanations. […] In sum, although not all the chapters of this volume are intimately connected to the notion of conjunctive explanation, each of them is an insightful and thought-provoking contribution to the science-religion dialogue.” - Matthias Egg in Science & Christian Belief
