Download or read book Multiverse Deism written by Leland Harper and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given recent work in quantum physics suggesting that our world is just one world in a series of many, Leland Royce Harper calls for a shift in our concept of the monotheistic God of Judeo-Christian tradition. In Multiverse Deism: Shifting Perspectives of God and the World, Harper argues that those who wish to maintain that the Judeo-Christian God exists ought to revise how they define this God and what they expect of Him so as to maintain consistency between modern theism and the growing body of scientific knowledge. While this revision entails several concessions by the theist, the overall result is a stronger and more coherent account of who God really is. By removing the expectation that God will act in the natural world, Harper argues that we are left with a concept of God that maintains all of the traditional divine attributes, is consistent with current scientific advances, remains compatible with contemporary and historical arguments for the existence of God, and better refutes contemporary and historical arguments for atheism than the traditional, active God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darwinism and the Divine examines the implications of evolutionary thought for natural theology, from the time of publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species to current debates on creationism and intelligent design. Questions whether Darwin's theory of natural selection really shook our fundamental beliefs, or whether they served to transform and illuminate our views on the origins and meaning of life Identifies the forms of natural theology that emerged in 19th-century England and how they were affected by Darwinism The most detailed study yet of the intellectual background to William Paley's famous and influential approach to natural theology, set out in 1802 Brings together material from a variety of disciplines, including the history of ideas, historical and systematic theology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, sociology, and the cognitive science of religion Considers how Christian belief has adapted to Darwinism, and asks whether there is a place for design both in the world of science and the world of theology A thought-provoking exploration of 21st-century views on evolutionary thought and natural theology, written by the world-renowned theologian and bestselling author

Book excerpt: "The Creation is a timely book about the survival of life on this planet, which E. O. Wilson demonstrates is more endangered than ever before. Drawing on his own personal experiences as a world-leading biologist, he prophesies that at least half the species of plants and animals on Earth could either be gone or fated for early extinction by the end of our present century. Written in the form of an impassioned letter to a Southern Baptist pastor, The Creation demonstrates that science and religion need not be warring antagonists."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Principles of Nature by : Elihu Palmer
Download or read book Principles of Nature written by Elihu Palmer and published by Truth Seeker. This book was released on 2010 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most difficult things for a person to do is to admit they are wrong. Elihu Palmer, the author of Principles of Nature, had the strength of character and love of honesty to not only admit he was wrong by embracing and promoting Christianity, he also did all he could to correct the problem of Christianity and "revealed" religion with God-given reason and Deism. This is especially admirable since Elihu Palmer was a sincere Christian clergyman who evolved into a Deist! This book offers the reader enlightenment and peace of mind through the freedom of Deism. A new profound appreciation of your God-given reason will be stirred along with a desire to learn all you can about the natural and reason friendly religious philosophy of Deism. Thomas Paine, a Deist leader and American Founding Father, wrote the following to his friend and fellow Deist Elihu Palmer regarding Principles of Nature: "I see you have thought deeply on the subject, and expressed your thoughts in a strong and clear style. The hinting and intimating manner of writing that was formerly used on subjects of this kind produced skepticism, but not conviction. It is necessary to be bold. Some people can be reasoned into sense, and others must be shocked into it. Say a bold thing that will stagger them, and they will begin to think."
Book Synopsis God and the Natural World by : Ted Peters
Download or read book God and the Natural World written by Ted Peters and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays is a fitting tribute to Denis Edwards, who was one of Australia's leading theologians. In exploring the most challenging questions of our time, these essays canvas some of the great themes of Christian theology that were the focus of Edwards research. Denis Edwards was a theologian of dialogue: dialogue with our rich theological tradition, dialogue with science, dialogue with contemporary theologians. The contributors to this volume enter into a dialogue with substantial parts of the theological output of Denis Edwards. In the process, they capture something of his humanity, his love of creation, and his concern for our common home. The book demonstrates the commitment Denis Edwards had to a theology that is truly ecumenical and always learning from the insights of others. The editors and authors have done a great service in helping many others to deepen reflection on Denis Edwards' contribution to our understanding of God and the natural world.
Book Synopsis The Uncontrolling Love of God by : Thomas Jay Oord
Download or read book The Uncontrolling Love of God written by Thomas Jay Oord and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rarely does a new theological position emerge to account well for life in the world, including not only goodness and beauty but also tragedy and randomness. Drawing from Scripture, science, philosophy and various theological traditions, Thomas Jay Oord offers a novel theology of providence—essential kenosis—that emphasizes God's inherently noncoercive love in relation to creation.
Book Synopsis Natural Wonders by : John D. Housewright
Download or read book Natural Wonders written by John D. Housewright and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you travel around the country, do you see the beauty of all God has created, or do you even think about it? Do you see it even in your own backyard? Can you describe the last flower you took the time to see and smell? Or the natural wonders alongside the highway? Most of us probably can't and don't really take the time to closely observe God's creation. We're busy running from one place to the next, seeing our drives as nothing more than Point A to Point B. We're too stressed out to stop and smell the flowers. But there is so much to discover in our world if we just take a moment to stop and look. And through these discoveries, we can begin to understand spiritual matters in a whole new way. Come along on a rich and wonderful journey with Rev. John D. Housewright in his beautifully written book, Natural Wonders. He'll show you what can be found when you study a flower, how fishing for fish isn't that much different from fishing for men, and the little wonders that God provides on long travels to remind us of his love.
Book Synopsis Theology in the Context of Science by : John Polkinghorne
Download or read book Theology in the Context of Science written by John Polkinghorne and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as gendered, cultural, and geographical perspectives have illuminated and advanced theological thought, the contributions of twentieth-century science have much to offer theology. In his latest book, physicist-theologian John Polkinghorne, renowned as one of the world's foremost thinkers on science and religion, offers a lucid argument for developing the intersection of the two fields as another form of contextual theology. Countering recent assertions by new atheists that religious belief is irrational and even dangerous, Polkinghorne explores ways that theology can be open to and informed by science. He describes recent scientific discourse on such subjects as epistemology, objectivity, uncertainty, and rationality and considers the religious importance of the evolution in these areas of scientific thought. Then, evaluating such topics as relativity, space and time, and evolutionary theory, he uses a scientific style of inquiry as a foundation on which to build a model of Christian belief structure. Science and theology share in the great human quest for truth and understanding, says Polkinghorne, and he illustrates how their interaction can be fruitful for both.
Book Synopsis God, Science, and Society: The Origin of the Universe, Intelligent Life, and Free Societies by : Anthony Walsh
Download or read book God, Science, and Society: The Origin of the Universe, Intelligent Life, and Free Societies written by Anthony Walsh and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It may seem bizarre, but in my opinion, science offers a surer path to God than religion…science has actually advanced to the point where what were formerly religious questions can be seriously tackled” (Paul Davies, Astrophysicist). Anthony Walsh’s latest riposte to atheistic arguments against God's existence draws on Natural Theology, a knowledge of God based on evidence from both the natural and social sciences. Covering everything from the Big Bang and the origins of life to the mystery of intelligent consciousness, Walsh makes even the most technical scientific writings accessible to the general reader and tackles a question few books on the relationship between science and religion have ever sought to address: how does Christianity positively affect societies, families, and individuals in terms of democracy, justice, happiness, health, and prosperity?

Book Synopsis The Natural World and God by : Denis Edwards
Download or read book The Natural World and God written by Denis Edwards and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2017-12-31 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are we to think about the natural world around us in relation to the God of Jesus? Astronomers, cosmologists, and evolutionary biologists have opened wonderfully new ways of seeing the community of life on Earth, and its place in the universe. At the same time we are facing an extreme crisis of life on our planet. Both of these realities demand that we rethink our theology of animals, plants, ecosystems, as well as galaxies and stars. In this book, Denis Edwards collects together a series of explorations into this kind of theology.
Book Synopsis Fénelon in the Enlightenment: Traditions, Adaptations, and Variations by : Christoph Schmitt-Maaß
Download or read book Fénelon in the Enlightenment: Traditions, Adaptations, and Variations written by Christoph Schmitt-Maaß and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2014-10-25 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: François Salignac de la Mothe-Fénelon, Archbishop of Cambrai (1651–1715) exerted a considerable influence on the development and spread of the Enlightenment. His most famous work, the Homeric novel Les Aventures de Télémaque, Fils d’Ulysse (1699), composed for the education of his pupil Duc de Bourgogne, was, after the Bible, the most widely read literary work in France throughout the eighteenth century. It was also translated and adapted into many other European languages. And yet oddly enough, the question as to why Fénelon’s ideas resonated over such a wide span of space and time has as yet found no coherent and comprehensive answer. By taking Fénelon’s intellectual influence as a matter of ‘cultural translation’, this anthology traces the reception of Fénelon and his multifaceted writings outside of France, and in doing so aims to enrich not only our understanding of the Enlightenment, but also of the thinker himself.
