Schleiermacher's readers have long been familiar with his proposal
for an 'eternal covenant' between theology and natural science. Yet
there is disagreement both about what this 'covenant' amounts to,
why Schleiermacher proposed it, and how he meant it to be
persuasive. In The Eternal Covenant, Pedersen argues, contrary to
received wisdom, that the 'eternal covenant' is not first a
methodological or political proposal but is, rather, the end result
of a complex case from the doctrine of God, the notion of a world,
and an account of divine action. With his compound case against
miracles, Schleiermacher secures the in-principle explicability of
everything in the world through natural causes. However, his case
is not only negative. Far from a mere concession, the eternal
covenant is an argument for what Schleiermacher calls, 'the
essential identity of ethics and natural philosophy.' Indeed,
because the nature system is both intended for love and wisely
ordered, the world is a supremely beautiful divine artwork and is,
therefore, the absolute self-revelation of God. Schleiermacher's
case is a challenging alternative to reigning accounts of God,
nature, divine action, and the relationship between religion and
science.
