Book Description
This book is a clear, concise guide to Alister McGrath's ground breaking three-volume work A scientific theology. McGrath himself here summarizes his major project and sketches out its implications for many aspects of Christian doctrine. He then explores all of the major themes of his three-volume work, including the legitimacy of a scientific theology, the purpose and place of natural theology, the foundations of theological realism, the failure of classic foundationalism, the nature of revelation, and the place of metaphysics in theology.

Author: J. C. Polkinghorne Publisher: Fortress Press ISBN: 9781451411515 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 156
Book Description
In this short masterpiece, eminent scientist and theologian John Polkinghorne offers an accessible, yet authoritative, introduction to the stimulating field of science and theology. After surveying their volatile historical relationship, he leads the reader through the whole array of questions at the nexus of the scientific and religious quests. A lucid and lively writer, Polkinghorne provides a marvelously clear overview of the major elements of current science (including quantum theory, chaos theory, time, and cosmology). He then offers a concise outline of the character of religion and shows the joint potential of science of religion to illumine some of the thorniest issues in theology today: creation, the nature of knowledge, human and divine identity and agency. Polkinghorne aptly demonstrates that a sturdy faith has nothing to fear and much to gain from an intellectually honest appraisal of the new horizons of contemporary science.

Book Description
How do science and theology interact? What can be gained by exploring Christian theology using the insights of the natural sciences? Can a synergy be found? Is there a defensible natural theology within the scope and framework of a revealed God?
Author: Peter Forrest Publisher: Cornell University Press ISBN: 9780801432552 Category : Religion and science Languages : en Pages : 280
Book Description
Peter Forrest expounds a program of best-explanation apologetics. He contends that since the existence of God would provide the best possible explanation of various facts, those facts support theism. Among the facts cited are the suitability of the universe for life, the regularity of the universe, the human capacity for intellectual progress, the experience of a moral order, and various forms of beauty. The beauty that interests Forrest as evidence for the existence of God includes sensuous beauty; the beauty of the natural order, as revealed by the sciences; and the beauty of necessity discovered by mathematicians. In addressing the need for an adequate motive for creation, Forrest conjectures that God created the universe for embodied persons not for their life on earth alone but also for an afterlife. Forrest acknowledges the speculative nature of such an account. He suggests that philosophical speculation is also required to defend theism against the charge that it is too extravagant a hypothesis to be warranted. Providing a speculative defense against the argument from evil, he explains how such speculations can be used to support best-explanation arguments without the conclusions themselves being rendered purely speculative.

Book Description
How do science and theology interact? What can be gained by exploring Christian theology using the insights of the natural sciences? Can a synergy be found? Is there a defensible natural theology within the scope and framework of a revealed God? In the three volumes of A Scientific Theology (T&T Clark, 2001-2003), Alister E. McGrath produced a groundbreaking work proposing a mutual cross-fertilization of ideas and approaches: a scientific theology based on the present and past relationships between Christian theology and the natural sciences. In The Science of God, Professor McGrath provides a summary of and introduction to the major themes examined in the series. He outlines all the main ideas on Christian theology both philosophically and historically, discussing their relationships with the natural sciences. This unique approach results not simply in a traditional introduction to systematic theology, nor in an introduction to the science versus religion debate, but in a highly readable guide to Christian theology as a systematic theology enriched by the natural sciences, conceived and presented as a legitimate and coherent intellectual discipline with its own sense of identity, place and purpose.
