The relationship between science, scripture, and theology has been a longstanding and evolving debate. Often framed by Ian Barbour’s typology—conflict, independence, dialogue, and integration—this tension persists. The more constructive options of dialogue and integration have yet to deliver widely accepted solutions. This volume explores constructive solutions that address the perceived tension between science, on the one hand, and theology and religion, on the other, especially when the latter are committed to Scripture as an authority. The volume does not only collect insights from the long history of science and theology, but addresses new challenges arising from the recent pandemics, transhumanism, and the rise of artificial intelligence.
This book collects contributions from authors of diverse geographic, cultural and denominational backgrounds. It offers new insights for scholars and advanced students in theology and religious studies, but also to researchers from other fields that want to advance the critical discourse between science and theology.
