by Bruce Yaeger

Spirited Bodies Beneath the Stars rises above the specializations of today’s academic fields by blending history, science, literature, and religion. It also expands beyond modern Western religion’s tendency to confine itself to primarily the human sphere. All of the chapters of this book are aimed at widening our awareness to include the non-human realm of Nature, while at the same time integrating material from both science and religion.

This book takes readers into the human encounter with life, land, water, sky, and the mystery of time.

      • The evidence that science and

religion have usually found ways to be not just compatible but also complementary.

       •  How in the 16th century, religious
and scientific minds combined to create
the calendar that is used worldwide today.

      •  Which Puritan preacher led a vanguard campaign for inoculation
against smallpox.

      •  How Rachel Carson was motivated
by spiritual impulses, and not just by concerns about the environment.

       •  How religion and spirituality can widen their awareness and sensitivity by encompassing knowledge from science.

This book also contains a Chronology for Holistic Thinking—stretching from the universe’s Big Bang, to the 10th-century astronomer who became a pope, to the global pandemic of 2020.

Thoroughly researched and documented, yet highly readable, 
Spirited Bodies Beneath the Stars will provide enlightenment to
non-scientists and scientists, to the non-religious and religious alike.
