A comprehensive account of the role and work of the Spirit,
covering the entire Bible. Written by a team of leading evangelical
scholars, including world authorities such as Craig Bartholemew,
David deSilva, James D. G. Dunn, Walter Kaiser and Max
Turner.Informed by the latest scholarship.
Offering a bold intervention in the ongoing debate about the
relationship between 'theology' and 'science', Theology, Science
and Life proposes that the strong demarcation between the two
spheres is unsustainable; theology occurs within and not outside
what we call 'science', and 'science' occurs within and not outside
theology. The book applies this in a penetrating way to the most
topical, contentious and philosophically charged science of late
modernity: biology. Rejecting the easy dualism of expressions such
as 'theology and science', 'theology or science', modern biology is
examined so as to illuminate the nature of both. In making this
argument, the book achieves two further things. It is the first
major English-language reception and application of the thought of
philosopher Hans Jonas in theology, and it makes a decisive
contribution to the unfolding reception of 'Radical Orthodoxy', one
of the most influential schools in contemporary Anglophone
theology.
This book delves into the public character of public theology from
the sites of subalternity, the excluded Dalit (non) public in the
Indian public sphere. Raj Bharat Patta employs a decolonial
methodology and explores the topic in three parts: First, he
engages with 'theological contexts,' by mapping global and Indian
public theologies and critically analysing them. Next, he discusses
'theological companions,' and explains 'theological subalternity'
and 'subaltern public' as companions for a subaltern public
theology for India. Finally, Patta explains 'theological contours'
by discussing subaltern liturgy as a theological account of the
subaltern public and explores a subaltern public theology for
India.
