Divine Grace and Emerging Creation: Wesleyan Forays in Science and Theology of Creation

Wesleyans and Wesleyan theology have long been interested in the sciences. John Wesley kept abreast of scientific developments in his own day and he engaged science in his theological construction. Divine Grace and Emerging Creation offers explorations by contemporary scholars into the themes and issues pertinent to contemporary science and Wesleyan Theology. In addition to groundbreaking research by leading Wesleyan theologians Jurgen Moltmann contributes an essay. Moltmanns work derives from his keynote address at the joint Wesleyan Theological Society and Society for Pentecostal Studies meeting on science and theology at Duke University. Other contributions address key contemporary themes in theology and science including evolution ecology neurology emergence theory intelligent design scientific and theological method and biblical cosmology. John Wesleys own approach to science explored by many contributors offers insights for how two of humanitys central concerns--science and theology--can now be understood in fruitful and complementary ways.
