Theology for a Scientific Age: Being and BecomingNatural, Divine, and Human / Edition 1

by Arthur Peacocke

Overview

A positive answer to Stephen Hawking's question, "Does the universe need a creator?"Alan Keightley, in the Modern Churchman, aptly identifies the focus of parts one and two of Arthur Peacocke's seminal work. This second, expanded edition of Theology for a Scientific Age now also includes the author's Gifford Lectures. In the new part three, Peacocke deals roundly with the central corpus of Christian belief for a scientific age.
