Green Space, Green Time: The Way of Science

by Connie Barlow

On This Page

Description

Over the last few centuries, science has usurped domains of knowledge that were once the province of religion. At the same time, however, both science and religion have enforced strict boundaries throughout. Science can describe the world to us, but it cannot tell us about meaning or values. This is a compelling case for breaching this barrier - in effect, for a reunification of science and religion.

A dialectical, conversational approach to ecospirituality, exploring ways to make the evolutionary epic a basis for a modern religion that values biodiversity, bioregionalism, and geophysiology. Barlow explores ways to reunite scientific knowledge of the world with a sense of the sacred.
About the author: Kurt Lauren de Boer, editor of 'Earthlight Magazine,' said, "Connie Barlow is a pioneer, a sure-footed and spirited guide equally at home in the two terrains of scientific theory and ecoreligious experience." About the book: Lynn Margulis of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, said of this work, "Connie Barlow slashes through the shopping-mall contrivances of trashy consumerism to regain communication with the living, breathing wilderness of our planet. Celebrating a corrigible evolutionary epic she argues, mainly through lively conversation with scientists and scholars, for a new, value-laden, science-based religion wider than the sky."
