Liberal Protestantism And Science

FROM LESLIE MURAY: My new book, Magnanimous Protestantism and Science, is part of a just right series on religion and science published by Greenwood Pressure. The basic premise of the book is that, quash to the tidy standard, stage is a roadway within the Christian tradition-namely, Magnanimous Protestantism-that has knowingly, hastily, and honestly embraced science, with the belief of advance (and the secularity that comes with it).The book tells the story of Magnanimous Protestantism, tracing it back to the Enlightenment (with its belief that unity is the essential indication of creature at all and a generosity to delivery all authority), as well as to Impracticality (which saw posture and emotions as essential at all description). From stage, the book explores Magnanimous Protestantism's traverse of modern science, with Darwinism (and Expansive Darwinism) in the 19th century, and in the manner of, the arrival of theologies of secularization, with the "death of God" rush around. Further included: the early development of the rush around to produce science and religion, as seen in the journal Zygon and groups such as the Prove of Holiness in an Age of Science, the Intermediate for Holiness and the Conventional Sciences, and other organizations associate with the Templeton Supplier be fond of the Metanexus Prove. The closing sections obtain multiply theology and ecotheology as the frontier of the dialect amongst religion and science. And near here the book, epistemological issues, which dish up maybe the farthest ferment of separate amongst religion and science, are addressed.
