Theology Science and Life

<p>Offering a bold intervention in the ongoing debate about the relationship between 'theology' and 'science' <i>Theology Science and Life</i> proposes that the strong demarcation between the two spheres is unsustainable; theology occurs within and not outside what we call 'science' and 'science' occurs within and not outside theology. <p/>The book applies this in a penetrating way to the most topical contentious and philosophically charged science of late modernity: biology. Rejecting the easy dualism of expressions such as 'theology <i>and</i> science' 'theology <i>or </i>science' modern biology is examined so as to illuminate the nature of both. <p/>In making this argument the book achieves two further things. It is the first major English-language reception and application of the thought of philosopher Hans Jonas in theology and it makes a decisive contribution to the unfolding reception of 'Radical Orthodoxy' one of the most influential schools in contemporary Anglophone theology.</p>
