Now that 'post-truth' has dictionary status, Pontius Pilate's
cynically rhetorical 'What is truth?' arises as a disturbingly
real, and really political, question. No longer can academics
afford our habitual relativism. What better venue for curating the
multiform width of truth-talk than within the dialogue of religion
and science? What may seem like a rather esoteric set of
transdisciplinary essays bristles from the first page on with vivid
and timely examples, communicative clarity, and stunning
politico-eco-religio-cultural relevance. -- Catherine Keller, Drew
University
Finally! A critical look at the politically charged discussion of
religion and science. But, rather than pitting both sides against
each other, as many texts do, Navigating Post-Truth and Alternative
Facts brings the two together in an unapologetic manner that is
rooted in both religion and science. This is an excellent edited
volume by Jennifer Baldwin and one that promises to give facts, not
just opinion. In this age of post-truth and attacks on science,
this book is truly needed. Well worth the read! -- Daniel White
Hodge, North Park University
