“…And indeed this is how many introductory textbooks (e.g., McGrath 2020) are in fact structured. Andrew Loke's new fourfold typology is also explicitly advertised as having significant pedagogical advantages (Loke 2023). But it is important to note that this kind of consciousness-raising aim is more sensible for a typology in its first-order, rather than second-order, use.…”

“…In this section, I show that typologies in religion‐and‐science are used in (at least) two distinct ways: as classifications of how religion and science are themselves related and as a way of taxonomizing scholars and scholarly contributions. I should note that Loke (2023) actually does explicitly recognize these two uses (which he glosses, respectively, as “perceived” vs. “expressed”). But one gets the impression that he takes such a distinction to be unique to his typology (into which the distinction is built) rather than recognizing the two as ways in which any typology can be used.…”

“…Another, more second‐order‐focused reason cited by Barbour is that typologies offer maps of the religion‐science literature: “… a broad overview of a range of possible relationships can be helpful to readers new to this interdisciplinary field, even though an overview inevitably oversimplifies the complexities of the real world. A guidebook to any territory is not intended as a substitute for firsthand exploration but is intended to help people find their way around” (Barbour 2002, 2023, 348). Likewise Stenmark: “the aim of developing a typology is primarily to give a map which sorts out the main positions regarding how to relate science and religion” (Stenmark 2004, 262).…”

Typologies like Ian Barbour's have been widely used—and critiqued—in religion‐and‐science. Several alternatives have been proposed by, for example, John Haught, Willem Drees, Mikael Stenmark, and Shoaib Ahmed Malik. However, there has been a surprising deficit in discussion of what we wish typologies to do in religion and science in the first place. In this article, I provide a general analysis of typologies in religion‐and‐science by (1) providing a classification of existing typologies as conclusion‐ or concept‐oriented; (2) showing that typologies are used, or expected to be used, as first‐order categorizations of how religion and science are related and as second‐order classifications of scholars/scholarly works; (3) discussing several aims which we might want typologies to achieve in their second‐order usage; and (4) presenting a new kind of typology focused on the methods used by scholars which achieves those aims in a unique way.

Resumo Trata-se de investigação das representações de estudantes universitários acerca da relação entre ciência e religião (RCR). Extensa literatura mostra que essa variável influencia a aceitação de crenças científicas, como a Teoria da Evolução. As representações RCR foram estudadas em sua associação com outras variáveis, principalmente crenças e atitudes sobre natureza da ciência. O instrumento de coleta de dados inclui itens do Cuestionario de Opiniones sobre Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad (COCTS), itens referentes aos modelos de RCR segundo a taxonomia de Barbour, crenças sobre história da RCR, formação acadêmica e informações sociodemográficas. Os dados sugerem adesão à imagem da independência entre ciência e religião, representações pouco sofisticadas da ciência, também crenças ingênuas sobre RCR. Foram notadas diferenças entre as crenças segundo o tipo de formação acadêmica e afiliação religiosa. Os resultados apontam influência de crenças e atitudes acerca da ciência sobre representações da RCR, com implicações para a educação científica.
