This book is an important new study on the thought of the late
Professor Ian Graeme Barbour (1923-2013). Barbour was a prominent
American theologian and physicist who served for many years on the
faculty of Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, USA. His highly
significant research on the relationship between theology and
science led to an invitation to deliver the esteemed Gifford
Lectures in Scotland (1989-1991) and won him the prestigious
Templeton Prize in 1999. In this monograph, Joseph R. Laracy
analyzes Ian Barbour's distinctive approach to the relationship
between theology and science, largely unexplored in the Catholic
tradition, according to fundamental theological criteria. He
investigates the possibility for Barbour's epistemic, metaphysical,
and theological principles to enrich the dialogue and integration
(to use Barbour's terms) of the Catholic doctrine of creation with
the natural sciences. Throughout the monograph, substantial
reference is made to Saint Thomas Aquinas, as a Catholic "monument"
to the doctrine of creation in particular, and more generally, the
beneficial interaction of natural philosophy, metaphysics, and
revealed theology. This book will likely be of interest to graduate
students and scholars in the fields of fundamental and systematic
theology, religion and science, the philosophy of science, and the
history of science.
