Publisher's Synopsis
Alister McGrath helps us explore some major theological questions which arise from the natural sciences, and to unpack their cultural implications. He draws on six leading figures who have given thought to these themes and shows how their perspectives might feed into our reflections. In each case, the writer selected has a high profile, though not necessarily because of their interest in theology: some are actually hostile to religion, some neutral, and some supportive - but all are interesting! Each chapter in the book introduces the topic and writer under discussion, giving an overview of their importance before explaining their views and using these to lead into some reflections on the topic's wider cultural and theological significance.
