In The Material Image, Donald H. Wacome sets out to reconcile the
Christian faith and contemporary science by embracing, rather than
evading, its naturalistic implications. The sciences are our best
way to know ourselves and the world we inhabit, Wacome argues, but
this does not make belief in miracles unreasonable. The sciences
reveal that we are fully material beings, the product of unguided
natural selection. God created human persons for the vocation of
sharing in the everlasting Triune life and work, but this creation
does not involve design. The mind is the embodied, socially
situated brain. There is no immaterial soul; we are the material
image of our transcendent Creator. This materialist conception does
not preclude the resurrection of the body. The freedom that matters
for the human creature is compatible with our being governed by the
laws of nature. Morality and religion are natural, merely human,
legacies of our evolutionary history, which God employs in pursuit
of fellowship with us. Christians can faithfully and
enthusiastically welcome the image of human beings given in
contemporary science.
