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.
Water Buffalo Theology marked the emergence of a self-conscious
Asian Christian theology on the world scene when it was published
in 1974. In this twenty-fifth anniversary edition, Koyama
thoroughly updates the original, adding an retrospective
introduction that records how he has changed his mind on many
topics but maintained his position on others. In addition to
eliminating several chapters, Koyama also adds one on his
"pilgrimage in mission".
Water Buffalo Theology urges readers to abide by the first
calling of Christianity -- to become an incarnation of God's
love.

In this book, Anthony Williams investigates the history of
Christian Socialist thought in Britain from the late nineteenth to
mid-twentieth century. Through analysis of the writings of ten key
Christian Socialists from the period, Williams reframes the
ideology of Christian Socialism as a coherent and influential body
of political thought - moving the study of Christian Socialism away
from historical narratives and towards political ideology. The book
sheds new light on a key period in British political development,
in particular Williams demonstrates how the growth of the Christian
Socialist movement exercised a profound impact on the formation of
the British Labour party, which would go on to radically change
20th century politics in Britain.
