What are the religious implications of science? How has science affected our interpretations of religious accounts of the origin of the universe and our place in it? What kind of narrative can be framed that is both spiritually satisfying and true to the facts? Leading scientists, theologians, and other scholars interested in these questions came together at the 1999 Parliament of World’s Religions to rethink the story of the universe, human responsibilities in the age of ecocrisis, and the places where science and religion meet. Out of this colloquy of very different voices, there emerges an inspiring new vision of what it means to be human and at home in the cosmos.
