The Rt Revd Dr John Saxbee

Skepticism, Relativism, and Religious Knowledge

Philosophy

“[Harvey's] interdisciplinary background is to the fore, especially in his treatment of the relation between religion and science. . . . The second part [of the book] goes deeper into how we need to get over the artificial conflict between religious and scientific accounts of truth and reality. . . . This leads Harvey towards a fascinating excursion into the philosophy of science which underlines how science is more like theology than most moderns are prepared to acknowledge. . . . It is gratifying to find someone of Harvey's learning, wisdom, and experience taking on the high priests of scientific rationalism and their theological fellow-travelers in such a thoroughgoing and painstaking project.”
