What is the ethical import of contemporary scientific cosmology?
How does our understanding of the universe relate to our most
pressing social concerns? How do the disparate fields of theology,
ethics, and the sciences relate to each other? Murphy and Ellis
offer a coherent construction of these relations and show how a
particular moral vision-a "kenotic" ethic-is supported "from below"
by the social sciences and "from above" by theology. The
theological import of contemporary cosmology, they argue, points
ultimately to an ethic that centers on self-sacrifice and
nonviolence. In ambition, rigor, and scale, in its search for an
integrated and coherent worldview at a time of unprecedented
complexity and uncertainty, readers will find this volume daring
and important.
