This Element examines the science-theology dialogue from the
perspective of Eastern Orthodox Christianity and provides a
critique of this dialogue based on six fundamental aspects of that
theology: (i) Its understanding of how philosophy may authentically
be used in the theological task; (ii) Its understanding of the use
and limitations of scientific and theological languages; (iii) Its
understanding of the role of humanity in bringing God's purposes to
fulfilment; (iv) its sense that material entities should be
understood less in materialist terms than in relation to the mind
of God; (v) Its Christological focus in understanding the concept
of creation; (vi) Its sense that the empirical world can be
understood theologically only when the 'world to come' is taken
fully into account. It is argued that Orthodoxy either provides an
alternative pan-Christian vision to the currently predominant one
or, at the very least, provides important new conceptual insights.
