Focusing on the intersection of religion, science, and philosophy, this volume presents lectures from Yale University that explore the integration of scientific discoveries into religious understanding. Established by Dwight H. Terry's endowment, the Foundation aims to interpret and apply scientific knowledge for human welfare, rather than promoting scientific research itself. The lectures emphasize constructing a more expansive and refined religious framework by incorporating truths from both science and philosophy.
