About this title

Synopsis

Presented here are Nancey Murphy's three public lectures dealing with human identity, the concept of a moral basis for the universe, and evolution. The volume also includes three discussion sessions on physicalism, the embodiment of humans, and prayer related to God's action.

"Murphy provides an insightful, easy to read text that is a most useful contribution to the current debates in the dialogue between religion and science." -Regent's Reviews, Oxford, England

Nancey Murphy is Professor of Christian Philosophy at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasedena, California. She received a B.A. from Creighton University (philosophy and psychology) in 1973, a Ph.D. from U.C. Berkeley (philosophy of science) in 1980, and a Th.D. from the Graduate Theological Union (theology) in 1987. Her first book, Theology in the Age of Scientific Reasoning (Cornell, 1990) won the American Academy of Religion award for excellence and a Templeton Prize for outstanding books in science and theology. She is author of five other books, including Reconciling Theology and Science: A Radical Reformation Perspective (Pandora Press, 1997), Anglo-American Postmodernity: Philosophical Perspectives on Science, Religion, and Ethics (Westview, 1997); and On the Moral Nature of the Universe: Theology, Cosmology, and Ethics (with G.F.R. Ellis, Fortress, 1996). She has co-edited six volumes, including Whatever Happened to the Soul?: Scientific and Theological Portraits of Human Nature (with Warren Brown and H.N. Malony, Fortress 1998); and Neuroscience and the Person: Scientific Perspectives on Divine Action (with Robert Russell, Theo Meyering, and Michael Arbib). Her research interests focus on the role of modern and postmodern philosophy in shaping Christian theology, and on relations between theology and science.
