Summary:

Six leading American and European scholars here rethink the relationship of theology and science under the growing challenge of today's cultural pluralism. Responding to books by the first generation of thinkers in the field, this volume is unique for the way it goes beyond the current, stereotyped methods for relating theology and science, offering instead six alternative models that also take seriously the current cultural shift away from modern thought forms. Contributors: Willem B. Drees, Niels Henrik Gregersen, Eberhard Herrmann, J. Wentzel van Huyssteen, Kees van Kooten Niekerk, and Fraser Watts.

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.
