Scientists with faith search for common ground between science and religion | Scientists who believe, and religious scholars whose faith is unthreatened by ideas like evolution, have been much less vocal in the debate in recent years. Now, two new books make public those quieter voices (The Chronicle of Higher Education, sub. req'd.)
Keeping the faith, enjoying the fame | In the modern-day world of celebrity, religion often seems reduced to a commodity. A fashionable trend that can be bought into and discarded as easily as a red string Kabbalah bracelet or a designer yoga mat bag. A choice that has more to do with accessorizing than the afterlife (The Washington Times)
Religion today: That Pew poll on suicide bombing | The finding was described by some as a trouble spot, and even a hair-raising statistic, but many Muslim scholars had another reaction to the Pew report: What did you expect? (Associated Press)
Crises of faith | America is becoming more secular; Europe is becoming more religious. Both trends could mean trouble (Ross Douthat, The Atlantic)
