DESCRIPTION
Winner of the Templeton Prize for Outstanding Books in Theology and the Natural Sciences (1998)
“I recommend this volume to everyone interested in serious engagement between theology and science.” - Christian Scholar's Review
This series, formerly called Edinburgh Studies in Constructive Theology, relates past thought from the history of Western theological traditions to areas of contemporary concern in fresh, innovative, and constructive ways. Designed for those with no formal theological training, these award-winning volumes guide readers through core theological issues in a systematic and accessible way.
It is widely believed that contemporary science has ruled out divine action in the world. Arguing that theology can and must respond to this challenge, Philip Clayton surveys the available biblical and philosophical resources. Recent work in cosmology, quantum physics, and the brain sciences offers exciting new openings for a theology of divine action. The book also defends a widely discussed though controversial approach to the doctrine of God, panentheism, which locates the world within the divine being while still insisting that God transcends the world.
• Recent developments in philosophy and natural science covered.
• Summarises the key issues of science for theologians
• Addresses current debates on naturalism, consciousness, agency, and the theory of knowledge
