No class of works is received with more suspicion, I had almost said derision, than those which deal with Science and Religion. Science is tired of reconciliations between two things which never should have been contrasted; Religion is offended by the patronage of an ally which it professes not to need; and the critics have rightly discovered that, in most cases where Science is either pitted against Religion or fused with it, there is some fatal...

Su fundamento es doble: los recientes descubrimientos de las ciencias físicas -especialmente el llamado «entrelazamiento cuántico»- que nos descubren la relacionalidad propia del universo, y las recientes tendencias teológicas del llamado nuevo trinitarismo,...

This book brings together lessons from three journeys. The first journey began with my acceptance of Jesus at a young age, together with my growing recognition of the differences between the scriptural record and scientific understanding. It continued with a young man's adventure, a retreat into nature, and an encounter with war. War and life's darker side convinced me that even as nature brings awe and opens us to religious experience, we need morality.The...

This doctrine not only invites reflection on an intellectual concept: it calls for contemplation of the endlessly complex, dynamic, and fascinating world that human being inhabit. But the possibilities for wide-ranging discussion are such that scholars sometimes end up talking past one another. Productive...
