The Great Partnership by Jonathan Sacks
Science, Religion, and the Search for Meaning
This book argues that science and religion are complementary partners rather than natural enemies: science explains how the world works and gives humanity unprecedented power, while religion supplies the moral framework and sense of meaning needed to govern that power responsibly. Rejecting the “conflict” narrative, the author urges dialogue and mutual respect between the two spheres, shows how each can correct the excesses of the other, and applies this partnership to contemporary ethical dilemmas raised by advances in biology, technology, and society. The result is a case for a cooperative relationship that preserves intellectual integrity while promoting human flourishing.
