Key points are not available for this paper at this time.
In this paper I concentrate principally upon Welby's paper “Truthfulness in Science and Religion” (1888) and Petrilli's discussion, in chapter Two of her book Signifying and Understanding (2009), of Welby's development “Between religion, science and philosophy: From biblical exegesis to significs.” I present Welby's arguments in the light of Bruno Latour's recent Gifford Lecture series entitled, “Facing Gaia: A new inquiry into Natural Religion” (Latour 2013). I discuss the relationship of science and religion with particular reference to Latour's attempt to bring them together in dialogue. The role of translation – whether this be Latour's proposed “translation tables,” or Welby's insistence upon translation as at the very heart of her significs – is also analyzed.
