Religion and the Scientific Future: Reflections on Myth, Science, and Theology
Originally published in 1970, this is the second in MOP’s Reprints Of Scholarly Excellence series. Once again Professor Gilkey addresses the critical problems of Christian faith in a secular world. In doing so he confirms that science has had a greater impact on the Christian faith than is generally supposed and that Christian faith can and/or ought to have a decided impact on our Scientific world-view. “A solid contribution to discussion to the science-religion problem” (Theology Today), this book contributes to our “understanding of the ways in which myth, science, philosophy, and theology can make their distinctive contribution to the human future in a technological age” (Interpretation). College and seminary teachers and students will welcome the renewed availability of this excellent text in an enlarged, more readable format, attractively and durably bound.
Langdon B. Gilkey is Shailer Mathews Professor of Theology at the Divinity School, University of Chicago. One perceptive reviewer observed: “There is no theological writing on America more profitable to read than Professor Gilkey’s.”
