Do people know about God just by being human beings? Or do they
need special divine assistance, through the Bible and the church?
`Natural Theology' is the idea that human beings `by nature', that
is just through being human, know something of God; or that perhaps
they gain such knowledge from observing the world we live in. Its
opposite is `revealed theology', or the knowledge of God
communicated only through special channels - through Jesus Christ,
through the Bible, through the church. Natural theology was long
accepted as a basic ingredient in all theology, but in the
twentieth century it was rejected by important theologians,
especially Karl Barth. His views denied all natural theology and
placed greater emphasis on the Bible. But what if the Bible itself
uses, depends on, and supports natural theology? In this book,
Professor Barr pursues these questions within the Bible itself and
within the history of ideas, earlier and more recent; and he looks
at their implications for religion and theology in the future.
