Produktinformationen zu „Charles and Emma Darwin: The Option to Believe (ePub)“
Many people look at the world through a scientific lens that seems to forbid religious conviction, but then find themselves drawn by curiosity, if not longing, to the religious worldview. Is this tension inevitable . . . or unnecessary? The famously successful marriage of Charles and Emma Darwin illustrates the problem. Charles and Emma were very close to each other in social background and knowledge of the world, yet they found it difficult to agree on the Question of God. Were their religious beliefs driven apart more by his science or by their society? Were these potentially compatible, or inherently irreconcilable? Charles and Emma Darwin: The Option to Believe searches for answers in the family's history and individual personalities, as well as in the cultural, social, and intellectual history of that family's society. The book also looks back on the Darwins' predicament from the perspective of modern science and theology and suggests it is society, not science, that creates the modern tension between science and religion. There is an intellectual option to believe in God that seemed unavailable to Victorians like Charles Darwin yet is certainly available to us today.
Autoren-Porträt von Chris Dunford
Chris Dunford has worked in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the United States. Witha PhD in ecology and evolutionary biology (University of Arizona in Tucson) and a BS in
biological sciences (Cornell University), Chris became an international non-profit
organization leader (President of Freedom from Hunger, 1991-2011) and researcher-author in
microfinance and public health, culminating in his 2012-13 online review of anti-poverty
impacts of microfinance, The Evidence Project: What We're Learning About Microfinance
and World Hunger.
Chris's passion for the natural world led to his academic research focus on the ecology
and evolution of social behavior in animals and humans, resulting in several peer-reviewed
articles on sciurid rodents and co-authorship with H. Ronald Pulliam of Programmed to
Learn: An Essay on the Evolution of Culture (Columbia University Press, 1980). From age
six, Chris has been an avid birder, which led to his book, Life List: A Birder's Spiritual
Awakening (Novalis, 2006). His current focus is on intellectual history, philosophy of
religion, and the lives of Charles and Emma Darwin.
