Product Description

A cutting-edge survey of contemporary thought at the intersection of science and Christianity.

The Blackwell Companion to Science and Christianity provides a cutting-edge survey of the central ideas at play at the intersection of science and Christianity through 54 original articles by world-leading scholars and rising stars in the discipline. The articles focus on Christianity's interaction with Science to offer a fine-grained analysis of issues such as multiverse theories in cosmology, convergence in evolution, Intelligent Design, natural theology, human consciousness, artificial intelligence, free will, miracles, and the Trinity, amongst many others.

This volume also addresses major historical developments in the relationship between science and Christianity, including Christian patristics, the scientific revolution, the reception of Darwin, and twentieth century fundamentalism. Each topic provides diverse perspectives and broadens the conversation from the Anglocentric tradition. This companion is divided into 9 Parts: Historical Episodes; Methodology; Natural Theology; Cosmology & Physics; Evolution; The Human Sciences; Christian Bioethics; Metaphysical Implications; The Mind; Theology; and Significant Figures of the 20th Century.

Editorial Reviews

"As I said at the outset, this Blackwell Companion has proved itself to be an indispensable companion to me as I try to set out the current shape of the field for the third generation, but I cannot help but wonder how different such a volume will look in their time."  (Modern Believing, 1 January 2014)

"The result is a fascinating, rich collection of fifty-four essays grouped into eleven major sections . . . To sum up, this volume nicely complements other recent works in the ongoing interaction between science and religion. Students and teachers in the field will find this volume an accessible, reliable, and up-to-date resource for the contemporary discourse between science and Christianity."  (Themelios, 1 April 2013)

"For those who have such a background, this book will be a valuable asset for orienting themselves in the broader conversation."  (Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith, 1 March 2013)

"Summing Up: Recommended.  Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty."  (Choice, 1 December 2012)
