Abstract
The Fourth European Conference on Science and Theology was held near Rome on March 23-29, 1992, under the auspices of the Vatican Observatory, Vatican City State. To this observer, the setting for the meeting, the chance to visit the Vatican Observatory and meet people from many of the European nations plus a sprinkling from North America and Africa provided a memorable experience. The work of the conference was carried out in seven sections related to the themes of origins, time, and complexity. The official language for the meeting was English (with the exception of French speakers) and this approach was followed in publishing the papers. The 46 papers defy a simple description. They constitute a melange of offerings from individuals trained in a wide diversity of disciplines in the humanities and sciences seasoned by a spectrum of theologies and traditions in treating science/religion themes.
