Paths from Science Towards God

The End of all Our Exploring

By: Arthur R. Peacocke

Author is winner of 2001 Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, worth $1 million dollars. By applying the principles of scientific thought to theological matters, Arthur Peacocke argues that the divine principle is at work behind all aspects of existence - both spiritual and physical. This study tackles head-on such fundamental issues as how evolution can be reconciled with creation, and the relationship between Newton, causality and divine action. He concludes with an optimistic new theology for our brave new world,

The Music of Creation, with CD

By: Arthur Robert Peacocke,Ann Pederson

Here Peacocke and Pederson compose a rhapsody on divine creativity in three movements. Through an extended analogy, they reveal how Christian understandings of creation can be brightly lit by scientific insights and approached analogously through examining musical creativity. They also include relevant selections on an accompanying CD-ROM. Composition, fugal arrangement, rhythm and tempo, jazz improvization all shed light on creation. Creation from nothing, continual creation, incarnate creativity, communal or ecclesial creativity, open-ended future creativity--new ways of thinking about the Christian teaching are illumined and exemplified in musical creativity from Bach to Monk: Prelude First Movement: Creation with Time Second Movement: Creation in Time Bridge Passage: Creation Fulfilled Third Movement: Working at Creation Coda: Ongoing Creation

Evolution

The Disguised Friend of Faith?

By: Arthur Peacocke

Arthur Peacocke, eminent priest-scientist, has collected thirteen of his essays for this volume. Previously published in various academic journals and edited books, the provocative essays expand upon the theme of the evolution of nature, humanity, and belief. They are grouped into three parts: Natural Evolution covers topics ranging from the implications of deterministic chaos; biological evolution and Christian theology; chance, potentiality, and God; complexity, emergence, and divine creativity. Humanity Evolving in the Presence of God, articulating God’s presence in and to the world as it is unveiled by the sciences; the chrysalis of the human; the nature and purpose of man in science and Christian theology. Theological Evolution—the Reshaping of Belief, dealing with science and the future of theology; public truth in religion; the incarnation of the self-expressive word of God; DNA; and the challenges and possibilities of western theism. In the epilogue, Dr. Peacocke discusses wisdom in science and education, referring to Robert Grosseteste, a medieval scientist-theologian.
