Of them all, science seems to be the right one now. Like religion, it provides the glimmer of hope that maybe it will be all right in the end.'' With full-color reproductions of this entire series of Hirst silkscreen prints produced for the \u003ci\u003eNew Religion\u003c\/i\u003e exhibition, such as \"The Apostles,\" \"The Wound of Christ,\" \"The Last Supper\" and \"The Stations of the Cross,\" as well as editioned sculptures and multiples such as \"The Fate of Man\" and the 'box\/cabinet' called \"New Religion,\" this hardback publication is a modern day biblical picture-book exploring combinations between science and religion. And the ideas about Hirst's science\/religion dichotomy are further explored through an intriguing interview with Sean O'Hagan that moves effortlessly from the macro to the micro, and back again, ''I just can't help thinking that science is the new religion for many people. It's as simple and as complicated as that really.''\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Bristol in 1965, Damien Hirst studied at Goldsmith's College, London.
