xii. ind. 254 p.; 23 cm One of the most relevant and accessible writers of theology working today. Hans Schwarz here explores the Christian doctrine of creation from biblical, historical, and scientific perspectives, arguing that true dialogue between religion and the sciences provides the fullest and most meaningful picture of the universe. Schwarz first surveys scientific explanations for the origins of the universe and of life and discusses the scientific understanding of matter, space, determinism. He then reviews the history of Christian responses to science's discoveries, including a summary of reactions from Christian scientists. He completes his analysis with a proposal for the development of a Christian understanding of creation. Through this engaging approach Schwarz leads Christians and scientists away from isolation in their respective arenas and draws them toward an apprecia tion of their complementary contributions to the questions of humanity's ori gin and destiny. Ultimately, he maintains that Christian hope is based neither on science nor on the denial of science, but on God's self-disclosure in the life and destiny of Jesus the Christ. religion and science Creation 231.76520802860664 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 231.7652 Sch e 04202201258 Non Fiction 231.7652 Sch e Creation.jpg 96962 2022-01-29 08:36:45 2022-04-25 11:44:14 machine generated
