James K. Dew Jr. teaches the History of Ideas and Christian Philosophy at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and pastors a church in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
The relationship between science and theology has been tenuous for
a very long time, and it has seemed to many that these two domains
are forever irreconcilable. Fortunately, Alister McGrath has
constructed an integrative theological method that is both faithful
to the core doctrines of the Christian tradition and open to the
latest insights of the natural sciences. In this well-crafted book,
Jamie Dew provides an incisive overview and constructive analysis
of McGrath's extraordinary work. It is a valuable read for anyone
interested in the science/religion dialogue.
--Chad Meister
Professor of Philosophy
Bethel College Currently there are fruitful conversations going on
between the practitioners of theology and science, and evangelicals
are providing significant voices in the discussion. With his
synopsis and assessment of Alister McGrath's 'scientific theology,
' James Dew demonstrates why McGrath's paradigm of critical realism
deserves serious consideration.
--Ken Keathley
Professor of Theology
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Alister McGrath is one of
the most important evangelical theologians of the early
twenty-first century. In Science and Theology, Jamie Dew provides a
valuable assessment of McGrath's theological method and the
potential McGrath sees for critical realism, grounded in a strong
doctrine of Creation, to chart a positive future for healthy and
productive dialogue between science and theology. Well written and
clearly presented, this is a valuable work that makes a significant
contribution.
