The Realist Guide to Religion and Science by Fr Paul Robinson (AUS)$40

Why do some religious believers slaughter those who refuse to convert to their faith, refuse scientific evidence for an ancient universe, or hold God to an arbitrary being?

Why do some scientists believe that universes pop into existence from nothing, that aliens seeded life on earth, or that fish turn    into reptiles by chance processes? The answer, for both is the same : the abandonment of realism, the human way of knowing reality.

In The Realist Guide to Religion and Science, Fr Paul Robinson explains what realism is all about, then undertakes an historical exploration to show how religion and science become irrational when they  abandon realism and intellectually fruitful when they embrace it.
