God and Science

"This brief study, based on lectures given to the South African Science and Religion Forum in 1995 and earlier ones given at the University of St Andrews, is written for those who are aware of living in a scientific age and would like to discover a credible form of Christian belief which they can make their own." "The book begins by examining how science as the study of the realities of nature can be related today to religion and theology, the experience and study of God. This leads to a consideration of revelation and religious experience as God's communication to humanity. The awareness that human beings are in process of becoming raises the question whether any divine meaning has been communicated to humanity, and here the Christian claims are fully discussed. A postscript points to the mystery of the unity-in-diversity and diversity-in-unity of the ultimate, inexpressible nature of God and recognizes the virtue of wordlessness in the presence of the ineffable Divine Being and Becoming."--BOOK JACKET.
