Sumario:Most things you 'know' about science and religion are myths or half-truths. The real history of science and religion is rich, strange and personal. It's about the role of religion in inspiring, and strangling, science before the scientific revolution. It's about the sincere but eccentric faith and the quiet, creeping doubts of the most brilliant scientists in history. Above all, it's about the question of what it means to be human and who gets to say - an ever more urgent question in the twenty-first century. From eighth-century Baghdad to the frontiers of AI today, via medieval Europe, nineteenth-century India and Soviet Russia, Magisteria sheds a new light on this complex story -- Editor
