Arthur Peacocke's 1978 Bampton Lectures were published as Creation and the World of Science, a key work in initiating the explosion of interest in the relation of religion and theology to the sciences. This new reprinting, with a special supplement bringing up to date the references and the exposition of the author's current views, makes it available again both to a new generation of students and investigators and to the wider public, as an eminently readable and accessible account of contemporary issues in the relation of science and religion.

This second, expanded edition of Arthur Peacocke's seminal work now includes the author's Gifford Lectures, as well as a new part three, in which he deals roundly with the central corpus of Christian belief for a scientific age. "Distinctively theological commitments are being rethought in light of scientific apprehensions of nature".--Ted Peters, Zygon.

Theology for a Scientific Age: Being and Becoming - Nature, Divine and Human

SCM Press

The definition of a person, whether in a legal, moral, philosophical or even biological sense, is now at the heart of medical, religious and ethical debates. The book brings together contributions from leading figures in key disciplines to provide expert comment on the problems involved. Are we simply biological organisms that can be identified by the appearance of certain functions or are we both body and "soul"? Is our notion of a person something constructed by society and not natural at all? How have theologians, psychoanalysts and artists treated and defined persons? These are some of the issues addressed.

Philosophy

Blackwell Pub.

The aim of this book is to present a theology that is plausible, believable, defensible - and therefore relevant - to those who take seriously established scientific knowledge of the world and who seek meaning in a world so described. Such a theology would need to be at least consonant and coherent with scientific perspectives. The author attempts to refine our conception of God within this scientific world view and to answer the question of how Judaeo-Christian perceptions can accommodate scientific endeavour. The work is intended for graduates and above in theology.

During the last year of his life, Arthur Peacocke raced against time to formulate a final comprehensive overview of his "emergentist - naturalist - panentheist" perspective. A group of ten specialists in science-and-religion then composed commentaries and critiques of Peacocke's new "Essay in Interpretation." In the last weeks and months of his life, Peacocke drew together a final set of reflections on and replies to their chapters. Peacocke's "Nunc Dimittis," his final theological reflections in the days before his death, completes this volume. Peacocke's brief sketch of how God and nature and humanity interrelate will prove a nascent classic in the field and a touchstone for further reflection. Led by editor Philip Clayton, respondents include: Nancey Murphy, Ann Pederson, Philip Hefner, John Polkinghorne, Karl E. Peters, Donald M. Braxton, Robert John Russell, Keith Ward, Christopher C. Knight, and Willem B. Drees.
