Natural theology, in the view of many, is in crisis. In this
long-awaited book, Alister Mc Grath sets out a new vision for
natural theology, re-establishing its legitimacy and utility.
* A timely and innovative resource on natural theology: the
exploration of knowledge of God as it is observed through
nature
* Written by internationally regarded theologian and author of
numerous bestselling books, Alister Mc Grath
* Develops an intellectually rigorous vision of natural theology
as a point of convergence between the Christian faith, the arts and
literature, and the natural sciences, opening up important
possibilities for dialogue and cross-fertilization
* Treats natural theology as a cultural phenomenon, broader than
Christianity itself yet always possessing a distinctively Christian
embodiment
* Explores topics including beauty, goodness, truth, and the
theological imagination; how investigating nature gives rise to
both theological and scientific theories; the idea of a
distinctively Christian approach to nature; and how natural
theology can function as a bridge between Christianity and other
faiths
