Predicament of Belief - Science, Philosophy, and Faith

Zusatztext One cannot fail to admire the unfailing lucidity of the writing, the plangent honesty of the exploration, and the authors untiring determination to consider every direction in which the argument may take them. Informationen zum Autor Philip Clayton holds the Ingraham Chair at Claremont School of Theology and has served as his school's dean. James W. Walters is Professor of Religion and Bioethics at Loma Linda University. Klappentext Does it make sense - can it make sense - for someone who appreciates the explanatory power of modern science to continue believing in a traditional religious account of the ultimate nature and purpose of our universe? This book is intended for those who care about that question and are dissatisfied with the rigid dichotomies that dominate the contemporary debate. The extremists won't be interested - those who assume that science answers all the questions that matter! and those so certain of their religious faith that dialogue with science! philosophy! or other faith traditions seems unnecessary. But far more people today recognize that matters of faith are complex! that doubt is endemic to belief! and that dialogue is indispensable in our day. Zusammenfassung Can it make sense for someone who appreciates the explanatory power of modern science to continue believing in a traditional religious account of the ultimate nature and purpose of our universe?
