An epochal moment came in 1995, when a planet – 51 Pegasi b – was located orbiting a star other than our own sun. Since then, thousands of new planets have followed, and the question of life beyond earth has become one of the principal topics in discussions between science and religion. Attention to this topic has a long history in Christian theology, but has rarely been pursued at any depth. Writing with both passion and precision, Andrew Davison brings his extensive knowledge of Christian thought to bear, drawing particularly on the thought of Thomas Aquinas, as well as his training as a scientist. No book to date better prepares the Christian community for responding to evidence of other life, if it is found. And yet, we do not need to wait for that to have happened before this book shows its worth. In thinking about planets, creatures, and ecosystems beyond our planet, Davison already reinvigorates our theology for the earth.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 222mmItem Length: 149mmItem Width: 28mmItem Weight: 650gAuthor: Andrew DavisonGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Technology & Engineering, Science Nature & MathBook Series: Current Issues in TheologyType: TheologyRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
