An Abrahamic Theology for Science
Science & Faith
“Ken Vaux has shown what a powerful impulse Abrahamic monotheism has been to the rise and ongoing ethical guidance of science.”
Science & Faith
“"Open Theology presents a more mutual interactive account of God's relationship to creation than that given by classical theology. The essays in Creation Made Free provide a wide-ranging survey of the diversity, promise, and problems of this important twentieth-century development in theological insight.”
From Cells to Souls - and Beyond
Science & Faith
“Recent developments in genetics and neuroscience pose important questions to ethical and theological thinking. This collection of papers by experts — more than half of whom are scientists — will be a valuable resource to those who wrestle with such problems. I particularly welcome the book's emphasis on 'duality without dualism' in its account of the human person.”
God, Creation, and Contemporary Physics
Science & Faith
“The bringing together of so much material into a critical account is a worthwhile achievement and a useful contribution to scholarly literature.”
Science & Faith
“Arthur Peacocke, S.O.Sc. Saint Cross College, Oxford, England”
Science & Faith
“A vigorous and positive conversation has been taking place between science and religion in academic circles over the last twenty years. Scott Hoezee’s thoughtful book is a significant contribution to the important task of passing these recently gained insights into the pulpit and on to the pew.”
Science & Faith
“There is much that will be found helpful in Alan Padgett's philosophically careful study of the mutual influences that operate between scientific and religious perspectives on reality.”
Science & Faith
“Many will find it fascinating to see how a distinguished theologian offers his personal contribution to the dialogue between science and theology, writing in a bold and challenging manner and making good use of his wide reading and personal encounters.”
Science & Faith
“In this careful and closely argued book, Terence Nichols presents a vigorous challenge to naturalistic thinking. We are offered the persuasive vision of a world of many-leveled richness, whose Creator is continually active within its unfolding history.”
The Tradition of Liberal Theology
Theology
“Michael Langford gives a clear and accessible account of liberal theology’s quest to strike the appropriate balance between faith and reason in the search for truth. The Tradition of Liberal Theology is a very helpful contribution to current debate about the reasonableness of religious belief, and it deserves a wide readership.”
The Trinity, Creation and Pastoral Ministry
Theology
“The vigorous dialogue in recent years between science and theology has only partially percolated to the parish level. Dr Buxton's project of a three-way conversation between theology, science and pastoral theology is therefore welcome as a timely enterprise.”
Apologetics
“A clear, accessible account of the ‘pilgrimage of reason’ which has led Flew to a belief in God.”
