This work seeks to justify the integration of science and Christian theology, and to propose a model for that integration. Many of Western society's social problems have been created by the process of secularization with its lack of a clear and encompassing ethical code and moral base. Having undermined the ethics of Christianity, secularity is unable to replace them satisfactorily. Our need is for a source of adequate values, an adequate mythology. Myth is used as the central theme of this work. It is claimed that the knowledge of science functions as myth for modern Western culture, in fact is the core of our society's mythology. Having recognized the need for a mythology adequate to our society, science and two Christian options the conservative and the liberal-are examined and found wanting as candidates. The integration of theology and science is suggested as the solution, and a model is proposed whereby this might happen. 215086474000X Perpustakaan STTB Bandung Theological Seminary 215 Sha s E06001546 Non Fiction 215 Sha s 41QDbysagfL._AC_UY218_.jpg 50081 2014-12-11 08:36:43 2024-11-21 17:31:59 machine generated
