The approach to Easter this year comes at a time of great upheaval and instability, in the Middle East and across the world. There’s nothing new there, perhaps: amid the ongoing post-Covid global permacrisis, with new ‘wars and rumours of wars’ seeming to spring up on a near-monthly basis, eac...

The great silence https://thinkfaith.net/2026/04/04/the-great-silence The approach to Easter this year comes at a time of great upheaval and instability, in the Middle East and across the world. There’s nothing new there, perhaps: amid the ongoing post-Covid global permacrisis, with new ‘wars and rumours of wars’ seeming to spring up on a near-monthly basis, each new cycle of the Christian calendar provides us with an opportunity to set our own all-too-human chaos against the fathomless order of God’s eternal plans.

Religious and Scientific Landscapes https://thinkfaith.net/2026/03/30/religious-and-scientific-landscapes It needs to be more widely known that the “history of the conflict between religion and science” essentially originates in one book of that title of 18751 ( -aa3e-4460-bfa5-2276e268e18f), with encouragement from a History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom in 18972 ( -1ace-4573-a476-4ed7d5596774). War between science and religion is “the idea that wouldn’t die”, according to a recent collection of essays3 ( -2115-47d6-a08b-54e6c6602233), but Peter Harrison’s 2015 book The Territories of Science and Religion (which I reviewed (https://thinkfaith.net/2020/04/07/charting-the-territories-of-science-and-religion/) a while ago) goes further to show how such a conflict is simply inconceivable before the nineteenth century since ‘religion’ and ‘science’ had such different meanings in earlier discourses as to render the very notion meaningless.
