THE NEW NATURAL THEOLOGY: A BRIDGING AND INTEGRATING MODE OF INQUIRY
Abstract
The burgeoning science-and-theology discourse of the past four decades has produced a new natural theology, broadened beyond its traditional task of finding arguments for the existence of God. Much of its concern has been to address the evolutionary world-picture of the sciences and thence give a theistic account of the universe. Here we suggest an account that draws upon the concepts of kenosis and to kalon (the beautiful) – one that has implications for the teaching of science in South Africa and for developing an inclusive theological approach to religious pluralism.Downloads
