T&T Clark Handbook of Christian Theology and the Modern Sciences

About this book

"This handbook surveys the long relationship between the often overlapping studies of the world around us and concepts of the Divine, from the ancient Greeks to the modern eco-theology movement. From Plato to Aquinas, from Augustine to Hildegard of Bingen, from discussions of the Hebrew Bible to the environmental sciences, this opens the field of theology and science to new concepts, voices, and futures. For the first time in a single volume, experts in theology, history, philosophy and sciences, explore how both science and theology have contributed to the long history of racism and misogyny in human society. By naming and tracing both evils, this handbook makes them a central piece of future discussions of science, theology, and Christianity. T&T Clark Handbook to Christian Theology and the Modern Sciences is divided into 5 sections, including essays on many key theological figures: ancient conceptions (3000 BCE - 200 CE), the long middle ages (300-1400), reformations and early modern sciences (1500-1800), evolution to modernity (1800-2000), and contemporary issues in Christian Theology. The book concludes with a survey chapter on the many Christian theological approaches to the environmental sciences today, defining the relationship between Christian theology and the modern sciences in the 21st century"--
