In popular culture, science and theology have often been portrayed
as antagonistic. Some writers have described the history of the
debate in terms of a surrender by theology, a retreat from the
field of engagement: theology has abandoned the public arena,
leaving all creation to science, and has opted instead for the
safer ground of ethics, morality and personal or private belief.
Science and Theology advocates a constructive dialogue between the
two subjects and suggests the topics where they might meet. The
essays in this volume were commissioned from leading figures around
the world - experts in their own disciplines, but enthusiasts for
debate at the science and theology interface. They include Norma
Emerton, Owen Gingerich, Nancey Murphy, John Polkinghorne, John
Puddefoot and Carver T. Yu. They discuss natural theology, the
methodologies of science and theology, and theology in the light of
scientific discovery. Their themes cover scientism, divine action
in the world, the problem of evil, freedom and determinism,
reductionism and humanity, the limits of knowledge, and chaos
theory. Together, these essays offer a significant and positive
contribution to one of the most exciting areas of modern thought.
