The modern world is ruled by the natural sciences. They are the ones who discuss the most pressing problems of our time that touch the core theological arguments: Is God nothing more than an illusion of our brain cells? Are the world religions subjective and purely sociological/psychological phenomena? Can we even speak of such a thing as free will in humans?This volume takes a look to the future of both scientific developments as well as the theological approach to the results of the natural sciences.

Weitere Infos & Material
Our present-day world view is fundamentally influenced by natural science. Findings from all areas of scientific research are seriously challenging theological thought and attacking its core convictions: Is the concept of God the product of neuronal processes in the brain? Is religion solely to be regarded by its role in cultural evolution? Are there no warranted grounds to believe in the existence of free will? What if we are not alone in the universe?The future of academic theology depends greatly on the quality which she lays into her attempts to deal with the recognized as well as indeterminate consequences resulting from scientific and technological progress. This volume ventures a glimpse into the future of scientific research so as to encourage theologians to sharpen awareness for upcoming challenges. It thus designs to set the landmarks for tomorrow’s dialogue between science and theology.>
