This book offers a rationale for a new 'ramified natural theology'
that is in dialogue with both science and historical-critical study
of the Bible. Traditionally, knowledge of God has been seen to come
from two sources, nature and revelation. However, a rigid
separation between these sources cannot be maintained, since what
purports to be revelation cannot be accepted without qualification:
rational argument is needed to infer both the existence of God from
nature and the particular truth claims of the Christian faith from
the Bible. Hence the distinction between 'bare natural theology'
and 'ramified natural theology.' The book begins with bare natural
theology as background to its main focus on ramified natural
theology. Bayesian confirmation theory is utilised to evaluate
competing hypotheses in both cases, in a similar manner to that by
which competing hypotheses in science can be evaluated on the basis
of empirical data. In this way a case is built up for the
rationality of a Christian theist worldview. Addressing issues of
science, theology and revelation in a new framework, this book will
be of keen interest to scholars working in Religion and Science,
Natural Theology, Philosophy of Religion, Biblical Studies,
Systematic Theology, and Science and Culture.
