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.
Longlisted for the 2022 International Gothic Association's Allan
Lloyd Smith Prize Surpassing scholarly discourse surrounding the
emergent secularism of the 19th century, Theology, Horror and
Fiction argues that the Victorian Gothic is a genre fascinated with
the immaterial. Through close readings of popular Gothic novels
across the 19th century – Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights,
Dracula and The Picture of Dorian Gray, among others – Jonathan
Greenaway demonstrates that to understand and read Gothic novels is
to be drawn into the discourses of theology. Despite the
differences in time, place and context that informed the writers of
these stories, the Gothic novel is irreducibly fascinated with
religious and theological ideas, and this angle has been often
overlooked in broader scholarly investigations into the
intersections between literature and religion. Combining historical
theological awareness with interventions into contemporary
theology, particularly around imaginative apologetics and theology
and the arts, Jonathan Greenaway offers the beginnings of a modern
theology of the Gothic.
