In popular culture, science and theology have often been portrayed as antagonistic. Some writers have described the history of the debate in terms of a surrender by theology, a retreat from the field of engagement: theology has abandoned the public arena, leaving all creation to science, and has opted instead for the safer ground of ethics, morality and personal or private belief.
Science and Theology advocates a constructive dialogue between the two subjects and suggests the topics where they might meet. The essays in this volume were commissioned from leading figures around the world – experts in their own disciplines, but enthusiasts for debate at the science and theology interface. They include Norma Emerton, Owen Gingerich, Nancey Murphy, John Polkinghorne, John Puddefoot and Carver T. Yu. They discuss natural theology, the methodologies of science and theology, and theology in the light of scientific discovery. Their themes cover scientism, divine action in the world, the problem of evil, freedom and determinism, reductionism and humanity, the limits of knowledge, and chaos theory.
Together, these essays offer a significant and positive contribution to one of the most exciting areas of modern thought.

Store description
I reside in a rural community in central Minnesota near Mille Lacs Lake. Currently, I am in the third year of an online PhD program in Philosophy, Art and Critical Thought at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. It has been a lifelong ambition to complete this educational goal. I am retired, having served as a Lutheran parish minister, and I taught philosophy at a small, two-year college in central Minnesota. I have been an ABE book seller in the past, but decided it was too much for me to do with marriage, helping to raise a family, and tending to my vocations, so I gave up my book business – These Old Books.
I look forward to getting back into the shelves of books and trying to find the volume that a customer wants or needs.
