Emerging religions, still led by a living founder to guide them, responded with a clarity and focus that illuminates other larger, more established religions' understandings of science. The Hare Krishnas, the Unification Church, and Heaven's Gate each found distinct ways to incorporate major findings of modern American science, understanding it as central to their wider theological and social agendas. In tracing the development of these new religious movements' viewpoints on science during each movement's founding period, we can discern how their views on science were crafted over time. These NRMs shed light on how religious groups--new, old, alternative, or mainstream-- could respond to the tremendous growth of power and prestige of science in late twentieth-century America. In this engrossing book, Zeller carefully shows that religious groups had several methods of creatively responding to science, and that the often-assumed conflict -based model of "science vs. religion" must be replaced by a more nuanced understanding of how religions operate in our modern scientific world. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 21st century|2fast 648 7 1900-2099|2fast 650 0 Religion and science|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85112579|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 650 0 Religion and science|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85112579|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781|y21st century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012478 650 7 Religion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1093763 650 7 Religion and science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1093848 651 0 United States|xReligion|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85140498|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 651 0 United States|xReligion|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85140498|y21st century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002012478 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aZeller, Benjamin E.|tProphets and protons.|dNew York : New York University Press, ©2010 |z9780814797204|w(DLC) 2009038449|w(OCoLC)440282284 830 0 New and alternative religions series.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2007046568 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=344909|zOnline eBook.
