Liberal Protestantism and Science (Hardcover, Annotated edition)

Many students and members of the public who follow news reports on science and religion may think that Protestantism and science are in conflict. But while evangelical attacks on evolution may make the headlines, many mainstream Protestant groups have long embraced science and the scientific worldview. This volume in the Greenwood Guides to Science and Religion covers those Protestant thinkers who seek to use the insights of science to further their understanding of religion and faith. In addition, the volume will also discuss such trends at the liberal protestant acceptance of evolution, the advent of ecotheology, and the Social Gospel. Liberal Protestantism and Science covers the most important trends in the interrelationship of the belief and scientific activity: BLThe Liberal Protestant acceptance of evolution, and the teaching of the science in the schools. lBLThe advent of "ecotheology," and other means by which theologians address the changes in the environment. BLThe Social Gospel, the early 20th century attempts by Protestants to extend scientific principles to improving society as a whole. The volume includes a selection of primary source documents, a glossary and a timeline, and an annotated bibliography of the most useful resources for further research.
