Three Views on Christianity and Science

How do Christianity and Science relate to each other? Three Views on Christianity and Science presents three primary options for understanding Christianity's relationship to science, and models constructive dialogue on this key question about the church's relationship to modern Western culture. The three views presented here include: Independence View: Science and Christian theology operate independently of each other, seeking answers to different questions (Michael Ruse), Dialogue View: Science and Christian theology are distinct areas of human knowledge, yet can engage in legitimate and productive dialogue (Alister E. McGrath), Constrained Integration View: Science and Christian theology mutually inform and constrain each other, since all created reality is the conceptually integrated product of the divine mind (Bruce L. Gordon), By engaging with these nuanced viewpoints, readers will come away with a deeper understanding of the compatibility of science and Christianity. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Bible & Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series.
