Description
"One of the most relevant and accessible writers of theology working today, Hans Schwarz here explores the Christian doctrine of creation from biblical, historical, and scientific perspectives, arguing that true dialogue between religion and the sciences provides the fullest and most meaningful picture of the universe.". "Schwarz first surveys scientific explanations for the origins of the universe and of life and discusses the scientific understanding of matter, space, time, and determinism. He then reviews the history of Christian responses to science's discoveries, including a summary of reactions from Christian scientists. He completes his analysis with a proposal for the development of a Christian understanding of creation."--BOOK JACKET.

Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), who discovered the two laws of planetary motion named after him; Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who came into conflict with the lnquisition by advocating the Copernican helio-centric worldview; and Rene Descartes (1595-1650),who introduced radical doubt into philosophy, may serve as important representatives for the beginning of modernity.
