Synopsis

Arthur Peacocke's 1978 Bampton Lectures were published as Creation and the World of Science, a key work in initiating the explosion of interest in the relation of religion and theology to the sciences. This new reprinting, with a special supplement bringing up to date the references and the exposition of the author's current views, makes it available again both to a new generation of students and investigators and to the wider public, as an eminently readable and. accessible account of contemporary issues in the relation of science and religion. -;A. R. Peacocke's Creation and the World of Science, an expanded version of his 1978 Bampton Lectures, was widely recognized as a key work on the relation of the sciences to religion, in general, and Christian theology in particular. It has long been seen as a formative contribution to the wide-ranging investigations which now, internationally, constitute this intensely active field. This new reprinting contains the original and influential text and also contains a new. supplement containing key references to the literature of recent years as well as indicating the author's current position on central themes. It constitutes an essential reference and starting point for the contemporary discussion of key issues in the dialogue between the sciences and theology -
