| This volume is a representative cross-section of the recent thinking of Arthur Peacocke on how to conceive of divine and human relations - broadly, of God as the world's creator and the world itself created by God. Such an enterprise has many variegated facets and the various chapters of the book reflect this diversity; the possibility, especially in a sceptical culture, of finding paths from the scientific understanding of the world that can lead and point to God; the need for wisdom in the interpretation of the map of scientific knowledge in relation to its applications; the challenge of culture impressed by the success and standards of the sciences to critical religious thinking; the immense change in the perspective of humanity wrought by Darwin's introduction of evolutionary principles; the way in which the traditional dichotomy of 'matter' and 'spirit' can be transcended by combining and understanding of the sacramental in the Christian tradition with an evolutionary perspective; and how the re-emergence of emergence as an interpretation of the hierarchy of complexity of the world provides a new resource for understanding in the nature of humanity as thinking persons and of divine action in the world. |
