Beschreibung:
Rodney Holder is course director of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion at St. Edmund’s College, Cambridge. Dr. Holder read mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge and has a DPhil in astrophysics from Oxford. He worked as an operational research consultant for fourteen years, before returning to Oxford to read theology and to train for the ministry. Dr. Holder is a member of the International Society for Science and Religion, the Society of Ordained Scientists, and is on the national committee of Christians in Science. His previous books include Nothing But Atoms and Molecules? Probing the Limits of Science and God, the Multiverse, and Everything: Modern Cosmology and the Argument from Design.
In The Heavens Declare, author Rodney Holder re-examines Barth’s natural theology argument and then explores how it has been critiqued and responded to by others, starting with Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Wolfhart Pannenberg. Holder then considers the contributions of two notable British participants in the science-religion dialogue, Thomas Torrance and Alister McGrath, who, despite their repudiation of natural theology in the traditional sense, also provide many positive lessons. The book concludes by defending an overall position which takes into account the ideas of the aforementioned theologians as well as others who are currently engaged positively in natural theology, such as John Polkinghorne and Richard Swinburne.
