Full description for Scientific Theology
A groundbreaking work by one of the world's bestknown theologians, "A Scientific Theology "is the most extended and systematic exploration of the relation between theology and science ever undertaken. Drawing on both his firsthand experience with scientific research and his vast knowledge of the Christian tradition, Alister McGrath in these three volumes sets forth an approach to theology that positively engages the natural sciences while maintaining the legitimacy of theology as an academic discipline in its own right.In Volume 2 McGrath provides a detailed and thorough defense of theological realism, setting this perspective against the backdrop of radical changes in Western philosophy and theology. Engaging critically with writers such as George Lindbeck and John Milbank, McGrath offers a sparkling and sophisticated affirmation of theological realism, challenging head-on counterarguments lodged by its modern and postmodern critics. His refutation of the claim that the rise of philosophical nonfoundationalism entails the abandoning of any form of realism is of particular importance, as is his application of the highly influential form of "critical realism" developed by Roy Bhaskar.
