Theology, Science and Life Hardback
by Dr Carmody (Durham University, UK) Grey
Part of the Religion and the University series
Hardback
Description
Offering a bold intervention in the ongoing debate about the relationship between ‘theology’ and ‘science’, Theology, Science and Life proposes that the strong demarcation between the two spheres is unsustainable; theology occurs within and not outside what we call ‘science’, and ‘science’ occurs within and not outside theology. The book applies this in a penetrating way to the most topical, contentious and philosophically charged science of late modernity: biology. Rejecting the easy dualism of expressions such as ‘theology and science’, ‘theology or science’, modern biology is examined so as to illuminate the nature of both. In making this argument, the book achieves two further things. It is the first major English-language reception and application of the thought of philosopher Hans Jonas in theology, and it makes a decisive contribution to the unfolding reception of ‘Radical Orthodoxy’, one of the most influential schools in contemporary Anglophone theology.
