Arguing that there are ways to move beyond the limitations of
methodological atheism without compromising scientific objectivity,
the essays gathered in The Science and Theology of Godly Love
explore the potential for collaboration between social science and
theology. They do so within the context of the interdisciplinary
study of Godly Love, which examines the perceived experience of
loving God, being loved by God, and thereby being motivated to
engage in selfless service to others. This volume serves as an
introduction to and a call for further research in this new field
of study, offering ten methodological perspectives on the study of
Godly Love written by leading social scientists and theologians.
Drawing on the work of Douglas Porpora and others, the contributors
contend that agnosticism is the appropriate methodological stance
when religious experience is under the microscope. Godly Love does
not force a theistic explanation on data, instead these essays show
that it sensitizes researchers so that they can take seriously the
faith and beliefs of those they study without the assumption that
these theologies represent an incontestable truth.
