Description
* Uses Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and the Baha’i Faith as a foundation for discussion of development issues
What do the realms of faith, science, and the world of international development have to offer one another? This book’s contributors, each a scientist as well as a person of faith, tackle this question by showing how religious belief and personal faith can be deeply motivational and fruitful in scientific and development pursuits. This work furthers the search for a more "people-centered" model of development and for a scientific practice that supports tolerance, sustainability, peace, and justice for all.
