Welcome to the ISSR Library Project

The ISSR, the world’s leading learned society in the field of science and religion, will create a foundational library of central texts in the field. This library will consist of approximately 250 books spanning all important areas and disciplines as well as key international and intercultural voices.

The project will deploy the collective experience of the Society’s membership in selecting appropriate texts for inclusion. Upon selection of constituent titles, Society members will write critical essays on each book and these will be collected into a new, stand-alone companion volume, The ISSR Companion to Science and Religion.

Beginning in 2009, approximately one hundred and fifty complete sets of volumes will be awarded through an international competition to institutions of higher learning and other high-impact centers in targeted regions around the globe.
