God and Science: Divine Causation and the Laws of Nature

A collection of essays that examine the relationshipbetween modern science and the Vaishnava tradition of India. Although little known in the West, the Vaishnava tradition is based on a monotheistic philosophy having much in common with Judeo-Christian thought. When brought into contact with modern science, Vaishnavism generates some of the same questions that arise from the confrontation of science and Christianity. At the same time, there are significant differences. These essays contain a smorgasbord of novel insights thatprovide new perspectives on the relation between science and religion.Richard L.
