From the vantage point of eighty years, a highly regarded scientist and theologian surveys the full spectrum of critical issues between science and theologyJohn Polkinghorne, an international figure known both for his contributions to the field of theoretical elementary particle physics and for his work as a theologian, has over the years filled a bookshelf with writings devoted to specific topics in science and religion. In this new book, he undertakes for the first time a survey of all the major issues at the intersection of science and religion, concentrating on what he considers the essential insights for each. Clearly and without assuming prior knowledge, he addresses causality, cosmology, evolution, consciousness, natural theology, divine providence, revelation, and scripture. Each chapter also provides references to his other books in which more detailed treatments of specific issues can be found.For those who are new to what Polkinghorne calls "one of the most significant interdisciplinary interactions of our time," this volume serves as an excellent introduction. For readers already familiar with John Polkinghorne's books, this latest is a welcome reminder of the breadth of his thought and the subtlety of his approach in the quest for truthful understanding.

This book argues that the power of science as the most respected and authoritative world view is based on its superior material and organizational resources, not on its superior rationality. Fuchs approaches science as a social construct, and utilizing a theory of scientific organizations, he analyzes knowledge production in scientific fields--how they differ in their resources and how these differences affect how science is conducted. The book explains why certain fields produce science and facts, while others engage in hermeneutics and conversation; why certain specialities change through cumulation rather than fragmentation; and why some fields are relativistic while others are positivist in their self-understanding. This general theory of knowledge is applicable not only to science, but to all varieties of professional groups engaged in knowledge production.

We will put into place a scientific building block and then will marvel as the Scripture welds it into place. After nearly forty years of intense study and research to produce his book In Quest of Truth, author Ron Blauvelt bridges the gap between faith and science. Blauvelt answers deep, probing questions such as: Were there creations prior to ours? What about prehistoric animals and men? How old is our planet? How vast is our universe? In Quest of Truth will challenge your thinking as it leads you down the path to discovery. It will take you from head knowledge to real understanding. From doubt to a lifetime of faith. 'In Quest of Truth is an interesting read. Persons conflicted about the relationship of biblical versus scientific teaching as to the origins of the universe and mankind will find the author's conclusions enlightening. For others, the book's contents may raise more questions than it answers, but in our quest of truth, that is a good thing.' —Dr. Gary N. Bunner, Ed. D. '...I was hooked from the beginning, enlightened by the facts, and finally planted my flag on the mountain of evidence!' —Pastor Bob Petersen, Senior Pastor Lamar Family Ministries Center
