Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) “To all who love the God with a 1000 names and respect science” Preface Since the time of Ancient Greece science and religion have been closely related, at least epistemologically. For instance, as Bertrand Russell notes in Wisdom of the West (1959:13), perhaps the most important notion in Greek philosophy was the concept logos, meaning both word and measure. We believe there are few doubts that logos is one of the main concepts used in both contemporary theology and the sciences, including social and human sciences. In Religion and Science in Context, Willem B. Drees argues, “there is not only a need for serious study of ‘Religion and Science’, as an object to be studied, but also for serious reflection in ‘Religion and Science’” (2010: 150). Scientists and scholars taking the debate seriously face the following questions. Firstly, the question of how to relate scientific theories and findings to questions of faith, meaning and purpose as raised by religions and theology. Secondly, the question of how to relate empirical questions and answers to ethical and existential questions and answers. It was through questions and reflections such as these together with the quest for an adequate understanding of the world that does justice to what it means to be a human being embedded in oneself, the world, and for many, in God, that led to the emergence of the new discipline “Science and Theology”. As the name suggests, academics working in this field are interested in both science and religion in one way or another. They may belong to the academic field of the natural sciences, the social sciences, the human sciences, theology or religious studies. Science and Theology is ideally an intellectual venture that aims at informing scientists about the theological relevance of scientific research on religious phenomena as well as at informing theologians about the impact of scientific progress on religious hermeneutics. Seen as such, a specialization of the academic field of Science and Theology seems unavoidable. However, some esteemed voices have lately become concerned about some of the recent developments in this new discipline. There is some unease about the conse- quences of an excess of specialization, which would render this new field too “professional” and too far removed from the traditional interests and methods of scientific as well as theological communities. Another reason disciplines may distance themselves from the academic course of study of Science and Theology is the confusion with the academic programme called Theology of Science on the one hand and the programme of Scientific Studies of Religion on the other. vii viii Preface Nevertheless, in the last quarter century this new academic field has attracted scholars from a wide variety of disciplines. However, such enter- prises come with questions. For example, exactly which disciplines are attracted and what do these disciplines have to contribute to the debate? Hence, in order to describe accurately the shape and character of a possible relation between science and religion, it is important to clarify the identities of the suggested participants in that relationship. Nina Azari founded the Encyclopedia of Sciences and Religions. Her idea was to produce an encyclopedia that is complete and covers all currently self- identified distinctive academic disciplines and religious traditions, within and across a wide range of cultures worldwide. Furthermore, the idea was to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date picture of how the Science and Religion discourse or dialogue has thus far been treated. The encyclopedia was meant to provide a starting point for new lines of inquiry and an invitation for fresh perspectives on the possibilities for engagement between and across sciences and religions. In addition, the idea was to make the current (self-)identities of the proposed participants within Science and Religion accessible to the academic community, in order for scholarship to proceed fruitfully in that field. She was successful in recruiting several of the editors listed in order to cover as many disciplines and traditions as possible. However, it soon became apparent that the project was too big to be handled by only one editor in chief. Hence, in 2008 Anne L.C. Runehov became the second editor in chief, with responsibility for the non-scientific sections while Azari would manage the scientific sections. Unfortunately, Azari retired from the project in the fall of 2010. At that point, Lluis Oviedo, being the editor for the section on anthro- pology, became the second editor in chief. While taking stock of the project thus far a troublesome imbalance was discovered between the amount of assigned and submitted entries in the different sections. We also realized that the guidelines needed to be revisited. Then we realized that we needed to change the direction of the scope of the encyclopedia in order to launch this wonderful ship. In this regard, we are very grateful to Springer, especially to Willemijn Arts, Anita Fei van der Linden and Harmen van Paradijs, for organizing an editorial board meeting in January 2011 in Amsterdam. At the time of the meeting, all sections represented different stages of develop- ment and different academic levels as well as different degrees of relevance, consistency and completeness. Needless to say we were forced to make some drastic changes. The meeting had several advantages. Firstly, all the editors from different disciplines got to know one another and became a devoted team working on different aspects of one encyclopedia. Secondly, divided into several groups, we could redirect and finalize the contexts of the different sections in order for the encyclopedia to meet the necessary criteria. Thirdly, we had a renewed working plan and could reinstall deadlines. Finally, when we left Amsterdam, we knew we were back on track and we had regained confidence that we would finish this important project. The next challenge came when we, the EiCs, had to perform the final proofreading of the entire encyclopedia. At such stage, we realized that we could have prevented yet another delay of the publication of the work, if we had been responsible for the whole process from the beginning and, Preface ix furthermore, had we known more about certain layout standards. The A–Z format, together with its extended cross-references, is indeed user-friendly. The problem was that the glossary terms, which originally provided addi- tional information to the entry in question, also were alphabetically ordered throughout the encyclopedia and were thereby taken out of their original context. The result was, besides glossaries losing their original sense, we ended up with double and triple explanations of one and the same term written by different authors. Also, we discovered that some authors had explained the term already within the main entry and provided the explanation separately as a glossary term. Hence, we had to reorganize the glossaries by removing some, gathering some into a short entry, and reentering some in the main text where we found it to be relevant. What we also realized even more clearly was that some of the questions concerning the disciplines’ or traditions’ self-iden- tification were redundant. More precisely, the questions concerned with identification as a science or a religion. Obviously, sciences are not religions and religions are not sciences. Hence, and in order not to postpone publication even more, we took the liberty to remove the clearly irrelevant answers to these questions. We sincerely hope that the result of our carefully performed final proofreading will be to the author’s satisfaction.

Brief introduction to contemporary research in diaconal science 78 Notes 83 Preface he core task of a parish is to hold services, provide religious instruction and to carry out diaconia and mis- T sion work. These four dimensions of the Christian life reflect and complement each other. In this Bishops’ Letter, we are particularly examining diaconia, both as a special area of exper- tise and as a self-evident expression of Christian faith. Members and non-members of the Church of Sweden often see the church’s social welfare work, diaconia, as a yardstick of our credibility. Although the church is always more than the work that the people of God carry out together, this is justified to a certain extent. Jesus said “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” (Matthew 25:40).

  • In the Spirit Through the Son to the Father... Four Considerations About the Trinity’S Space and Movement in a Creation to “Be Liberated from Its Bondage to Decay”
    Sigurd Bergmann In the Spirit through the Son to the Father... Four Considerations about the Trinity’s Space and Movement in a Creation to “be liberated from its bondage to decay” Abstract This contribution proposes as its topic ‘God the Father in the life of the Holy Trinity,‘ and offers four considerations: 1. One can talk about God as Father only in a Trinitarian context; 2. The concept of the ‘mon-archy‘ of the Father makes only sense if it is interpreted, as it was in late antiquity, empire- and power-critically; 3. The continuity of Trinitarian cosmology is best retained at present in an ecological Theology of Creation which talks not ontologically but soteriologically about the Father; 4. The Αρχη of the Father should be interpreted as a ‘space of movement‘. In such a theology the all- comprehensive space of the creation belongs THE AUTHOR to God. This relativises any claim to power over country and territory. Because our homeland, the earth, can be understood theologically correctly only as a gift of the Trinity, nobody can possess the spatiality of the creation. This gift manifests itself as space, in space, with space, and by the space of the paternal-Trinitarian love and justice. In the space of this immanent Trinity, the welfare of the entire creation is to be found.

  • Pandemic 2.0 – Where Do We Go from Here? the Delta Variant and the Young
    Pandemic 2.0 – Where do we go from here? The Delta variant and the young. Gunhild Nyborg | Andrew Ewing | Yaneer Bar-Yam | Cécile Philippe | Matthias F. Schneider | Shu-Ti Chiou | Sunil Raina | Bengt Nordén | Sigurd Bergmann August 19, 2021 With the Delta variant becoming dominant globally, we need to change how we think about the properties and destructive potential of new virus variants. We need good policy decisions to ensure sufficient protection of our unprotected young, for health and for the economy. Throughout the pandemic, the daily number of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths from the coronavirus have been used by decision-makers to assess the purported risk related to the pandemic. However, with larger parts of the world vaccinated, these parameters increasingly give an insufficient picture of the public health risks, especially for the unvaccinated. And, the majority of the unvaccinated are young. Increasing evidence shows that the Delta variant, already known to be extremely contagious, is among the most transmissible viruses we know about. With increased transmissibility comes the need for an even higher proportion of the population to be immune to slow the spread of the virus. In this situation, sufficient non-pharmacological interventions to control the pandemic are needed, otherwise most unvaccinated individuals will encounter the virus within a fairly short time. With schools starting soon, transmission among the young is likely to increase dramatically. How will this affect children and young people? Despite an abundance of research based on earlier variants, with Delta, we still have little certainty of what lies ahead. Much of what we know to date pertains to earlier virus variants with differing levels of transmissibility, disease severity, risk factors, and vaccine efficacy.

Environmental Ethics: Cross-cultural Explorations Verlag Karl Alber Freiburg/München Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach, Mădălina Diaconu (eds.) Environmental Ethics: Cross-cultural Explorations Environmental Ethics: Cross-cultural Explorations offers insights into the significance of cross-cultural inquiry. The volume’s rich ex- plorations illustrate how the hitherto narrow, subjective character of value judgments in environmental ethics and aesthetics can be recti- fied and extended by drawing on non-Euroamerican philosophical positions. This modification could, in turn, abet the establishment of those norms that facilitate a sustained protection of endangered en- vironments on a global scale. The Editors: Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach is professor of philosophy at University Konstanz, Germany. She is founding editor of the international, peer- reviewed Journal of World Philosophies which is currently published by Indiana University Press (USA) as an open-access journal. The journal was run by Verlag Karl Alber from 2014-2016 under the title Confluence: Online Journal of World Philosophies. Kirloskar-Stein- bach serves as editor-in-chief of the new, primer series Bloomsbury Introductions to World Philosophies too. She works on world philo- sophies, political philosophy and social philosophy. Mădălina Diaconu is Dozentin for philosophy at the University of Vienna, Austria. She is editor-in-chief of polylog.
