Science and Religion: Some Historical Perspectives is a book on the relationship between religion and science by John Hedley Brooke.
The book identifies three traditional views of the relationship between science and religion found in historical analyses: conflict, complementarity, and commonality. The book portrays all three as oversimplifications. It offers up the alternative notion of complexity, which bases the relationship between science and religion on changing circumstances where it is defined upon each particular historical situation and the actual beliefs and ideas of the scientific and religious figures involved.{{cite journal|last=Temperley|first=HNV|title=Science and salvation|journal=Nature|volume=359|pages=685–686|doi=10.1038/359685a0|year=1992|issue=6397|bibcode=1992Natur.359..685T |doi-access=free}}{{cite journal
