| Summary |
In Today's Postmodern World, cognitive pluralism has become one of the primary challenges to science and theology. Elements of unity and disunity abound in both disciplines, making fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue between theology and the natural sciences all the more difficult. In this volume six leading American and European scientist-theologians rethink the relationship of theology and science under the growing challenge of pluralism. Moving beyond the work of first-generation thinkers in the field, each contributor to this volume introduces one of six new models for the ongoing dialogue between science and theology |
| Notes |
This book grew out of a series of discussions at various conferences of the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT), and the Forum for Theology and Science, Univ. of Aarhus, Denmark, and four of these contributions were presented as lectures at the Aarhus Forum |
