April 9, 2010 I The Clarion News Dr. Zeller to speak; sign books at Highland Books Page 3 Dr. Ben Zeller will be signing copies of his new book and speaking at Highland Books on April 14 at 4 PM. Dr Zeller’s new book is titled “Prophets and Protons: New Rehgious Movements and Science in the Late 20th Century.” Dr Zeller’s talk should be brief, lasting about 20 minutes, but is sure to be interesting. The NYU Press describes the book by saying, “By the twentieth century, science had become so important that religious traditions had to respond to it. 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 modem scientific world.” Campus Events Join our Facebook group to receive updates about events, view photos and have your say about BC Student Involvement Facebook. com/BCSI HOUSING LOTTERY The Housing Lottery wiU take place in Dunham Auditorium on Thursday April 8th starting at 6pm.
