Sinossi
In this captivating book, one of the most highly regarded scientist-theologians of our time explores aspects of the interaction of science and theology. John Polkinghorne defends the place of theology in the university (it is part of the human search for truth) and discusses the role of revelation in religion (it is a record of experience and not the communication of unchallengeable propositions). Throughout his thought-provoking conversation, Polkinghorne speaks with an honesty and openness that derives from his many years of experience in scientific research.
A central concern of Polkinghorne’s collection of writings is to reconcile what science can say about the processes of the universe with theology’s belief in a God active within creation. The author examines two related concepts in depth. The first is the divine self-limitation involved in creation that leads to an important reappraisal of the traditional claim that God does not act as a cause among causes. The other is the nature of time and God’s involvement with it, an issue that Polkinghorne shows can link metascience and theological understandings. In the final section of the book, the author reviews three centuries of the science and theology debate and assesses the work of major contemporary contributors to the discussion: Wolfhart Pannenberg, Thomas Torrance, and Paul Davies. He also considers why the science-theology discussion has for several centuries been a particular preoccupation of the English.

Paper Back

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paper Back. Condizione: Very Good. The universe might be called a song. As beings with our own dynamic personhood, we want to know the song; our word, epistemology, has risen as a name for this knowing, this wanting to know how to know. To continue the metaphor, we take hold of both theology and science to find our song's meaning and strain. We cannot pretend to completely understand the scientific intricacies presented here by scientist and theologian, John Polkinghorne, but his intent is captivating and worthy of consideration: we must continue to work at achieving that mysterious balance between transcendence and immanence in terms of creation and Creator. Science reveals to us that (in Polkinghorne's words) ''stealthy continuity'' of the Creator working out his divinely ordained laws, just as theology reveals in us concepts such as kenosis -- God's voluntary limitation of himself as a result of ''divine love allowing the creation truly to be itself.'' Including a presentation of contemporary thinkers (with the likes of Pannenberg, Torrance and Davies), Polkinghorne once again brings us closer to denying our acquired dualisms for the wholeness of truth. Very light cover wear, firm binding, aged but unmarked text. Codice articolo 239090
