The Leaven brings together religion and science in order to analyse the way in which societies deal with uncertainty and faith. Uncertainty perhaps arising from a loss of faith, brought about by controversies or lack of knowledge. This book investigates the objectives of both science and religion in searching for solutions that will resolve uncertainty. By investigating how the fermentative properties of leaven are interpreted in the Bible, there is a surprising insight into how ancient societies dealt with uncertainty and faith.
