Böcker av Joel B Carini

Both our secular culture and our Christian discourse suffer from a lack of appreciation of nature. "Nature" describes the world as we find it, created by God, broken by the fall, exhibiting both stability and change. It is denied in different ways by postmodernists, progressives, evolutionary naturalists, technologists, and transhumanists, but also by Christian fundamentalists and ideologues who fail to recognize the goodness of creation and the possibility and necessity of natural, human knowledge.In this book, theologian and philosopher Joel Carini argues for a new theological perspective that gives place to nature and to empirical sources of information in Christian theology. This new approach allows for healthy intellectual interaction with secular thought and other religious traditions and leads to surprising and significant conclusions.
