T HE RELATIONSHIP between theology and the so-called natural sciences has always been an uneasy, unea if not an-tagonistic, one. Trained in mathematics and the natural sci-ences, theologian W. A. Whitehouse, in his forty years of writing and lecturing, has combined those realms not by ac-commodating one to the other, but by demonstrating how each enriches the other how both theologian and scientist describe and explain a created universe. This book collects 18 of Whitehouse's essays, lectures, and sermons, most of which were previously available only in widely scattered sources, and two of which appear here for the first time. Thus the work of this man whom T. F. Torrance describes as "one of the ablest theologians in the English speaking world" is made accessible to a much wider audience of stu-dents, theologians, and scientists, as well as general readers. The essays explore Karl Barth's doctrine of creation, his thought on ethics, eschatology, and the relationship of em-pirical and theological thought, as well as Whitehouse's un-derstanding of divine authority. Emerging in all of them is a sensitive and sensible appreciation of Barth by a Barthian who is unique in his capacity to appreciate fully Barth's respect for non-theological accounts of the cosmos. W. A. WHITEHOUSE, theologian, professor, administrator, and pastor, is the author of CHRISTIAN FAITH AND THE SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE and ORDER, GOODNESS, AND GLORY. He is currently semi-retired as a parish minister of the United Reformed Church at Ravenstonedale, England 230.0440802818706 Perpustakaan STTB Bandung Theological Seminary 230.044 Whi c-3 E91000867 Non Fiction 230.044 Whi c-3 E91000700 Non Fiction 230.044 Whi c-2 Creation%2C_Science_and_Theology.jpg 32830 2014-11-27 11:54:25 2025-09-02 17:42:09 machine generated
