"The question this book addresses is whether it is possible to get an almost face-to-face intimacy with various forms of cultural tradition and modernity by using our experiences and our powers of imagination, i.e. our expectations, in a more fruitful way." "The contributors to this book try to give answers to this weighty question by taking as a guideline Erasmus's famous motto, i.e. always go to the sources."--Jacket.
John Polkinghorne
"In this captivating book, one of the most highly regarded scientists-theologians of our time explores aspects of the interaction of science and theology. John Polkinghorne defends the place of theology in the university and discusses the role of revelation in religion.". "The author examines two related concepts in depth. The first is the divine self-limitation involved in creation that leads to an important reappraisal of the traditional claim that God does not act as a cause among causes. The other is the nature of time and God's involvement with it, an issue that Polkinghorne shows can link metascience and theological understandings. In the final section of the book, the author reviews three centuries of the science and theology debate and assesses the work of major contemporary contributors to the discussion: Wolfhart Pannenberg, Thomas Torrance, and Paul Davies. He also considers why the science-theology discussion has for several centuries been a particular preoccupation of the English."--BOOK JACKET.

This book is not just another textbook. It has been designed by Christians "from the ground up" for use specifically in Christian schools. For some time we have felt that it was simply not enough to put a child in a Christian school where he took a course using humanistic books, with hopefully some supplementary material from a Christian viewpoint. We have attempted to put science in its proper historical and biblical perspective: it is the work of men and is thus imperfect and changing. As scientists, we have found that true science always reaffirms the inerrancy of the Scriptures. - Introduction to teacher's guide.
