Mehdi Golshani, Issues in Islam and Science (Book Review‪)‬

Mehdi Golshani, Issues in Islam and Science (Tehran: Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies, 2004), pp 152, HB, ISBN 964 4226 207 7 The current slow output of writing on Islam and science does not seem to match the growing demand. Every new addition to the still relatively small corpus on the subject is thus greeted with much interest. Mehdi Golshani's latest book on religion and science, Issues in Islam and Science, is a compilation of articles that he has published in different international journals during the last five years. Though the content is not new, the author, a professor of physics at the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, Iran decided to publish the articles in book form. This will certainly help his earlier writings to reach a wider audience in the English-speaking world beyond the regular readers of those journals. Hopefully the book would lead readers to a critical discussion of its content that would further enhance intellectual interest on the subject of Islam and science.
