Mystery is only one step behind the best insights of science and
theology. This book deals with the methodology common to both and
concludes that all knowledge reflects the culture in which it was
articulated and is provisional in the sense that it can always be
improved. Failure to respect this lies at the heart of much of the
polarisation currently seen in religion and elsewhere.This book
offers four reflections, which serve to loosen the sense of
certainty that traps and impoverishes Church doctrines, using
examples from the nuclear industry, climate change, and chaos
theory, among others. The reflections are on the efficacy of
prayer; how a sense of mystery and contemplative approach might
benefit science; infallibility in church teaching and practice;
and, finally, what evolution teaches us about the incarnation. Some
readers will find these shocking, but others will find them
liberating and in keeping with the Franciscan view of the
sacredness of nature.
