See also our early title by Nancey Murphy, Reconciling Theology and Science: A Radical Reformation Perspective. 1997.
"Reconciling Theology and Science shows how the warfare between the two in this century has been both unnecessary and unproductive. Nancey Murphy makes theology and science mutually intelligible by demonstrating how recent developments in both fields open up possibilities for a constructive dialogue and partnership. What gives this book coherence is her firm theological grip. She focuses an ethical vision as the framework for intellectual work based on the significance of Jesus Christ for all human endeavor. In so doing, she underscores the credibility of Christian faith." |
The Evolution of Terrestrial and Extraterrestrial Life
Where in the World is God?
by Ted Peters
ISBN-13: 978-1894710855. 2008. 222 pages. Softcover. Available here.
The basic question that Ted Peters posed for the 2007 Goshen Conference on Religion and Science was: Where in the world is God? In three lectures he uncovered aspects of that question and revealed some of the difficulties that we encounter in answering that question. The simplicity of the claim that God is everywhere becomes mired when we turn to the realities of our life experiences on this planet. The difficulty becomes deeper if we consider our biological history, and our answer to the question must also embrace what we have learned and are learning about the universe.
