Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theology as an Empirical Science Theology, in its days of undisputed supremacy, was defined as the science Of God. Of late, under the stress of much hostile criticism, there has been a strategic retreat, and the definitions generally favored are modest statements to the effect that theology is the intellectual expression of religion. The general situation, however, has come to be such as calls for a counter attack, having as its objective the recovery of a scientific status for theology, and a much stronger and more secure consolida tion of this scientific position than originally existed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theology as an Empirical Science A word of explanation seems called for, in order to remove, if possible, an initial prejudice which is likely to be aroused by the title chosen for this volume. Let it be understood from tho first, then, that what is claimed here, essentially, is just this: that it is possible to relate theological theory to that acquaintance with the divine which is to be found in religious experience at its best, as the physical and social sciences, with their theories as to the nature of things and persons, arc related to our common human acquaintance with things and persons in sense and social experience. What is aimed at in almost all of the recognized empirical sciences is not a mere description of the processes of our experiencing; otherwise individual psychology would be the only empirical science. What we are after, ordinarily, is an adequate understanding of the nature of the things and persons with which ordinary experience makes us acquainted. And if the reader comes finally to grant not only that genuine knowledge of a divine Reality has been gained through religious experience at its best, but also that this knowledge may be formulated and further developed by means of the inductive procedure advocated and exemplified in the body of this book, the author will not be disposed to quarrel with him over the comparatively unimportant question as to whether or not it is expedient to speak of the resultant theology as "an empirical science." In order that the theology may be viewed in relation to a harmonious philosophical background, I have appended to the main discussion a sketch of the philosophy of religion, with illustrations of a point of view and method which I have called Critical Monism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theology as Science: And Its Present Position and Prospects in the Reformed Church For the same reason I have also added the Inaugural Lecture delivered three years ago, when I entered upon my work in this University. Under the pressure of my duties at the time, I did not think of publishing it then, according to the usual custom, and it is reproduced here, not only because of its relevancy as so far completing this discussion, but because some passages had to be omitted during its delivery from want of time, on account of which it was not wholly reported. I have preserved the direct forms of address, because my primary aim is to put these Lectures into the hands of my students as a sort of general introduction to theological thinking, and to be relieved of the need of repeating them in the class-room. But others who are interested in our work may be also interested in this comparatively full exposition of the theological standpoint on which it is conducted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scientific Creed of a Theologian The immediate reason for undertaking the present work, was the honour conferred upon me by the reception of the degree of Doctor of Divinity at the hands of the Protestant Theological Faculty of the University of Tubingen in the year 1897. I felt that I ought to show my gratitude by way of some literary production, but I could not embark upon the work this involved until I had not only retired from my official position, but also given up many other duties connected with it, and found time to follow up my reading of some of the more recent and important scientific works, for the study of which my profession had not allowed me the necessary leisure.

Excerpt: ... chapter iii religion and the scientific record of creation I. The Right Of Hypothesis In Natural Science We shall spare ourselves many subsequent repetitions if, at the very outset of our glance at the work of Science, we discuss its right of hypothesis, that is, its right of advancing theories upon hitherto undiscovered causes of certain phenomena, without these theories having been beforehand proved to be correct. Science is often reproached with working far too much on mere hypotheses, and many people are of opinion that they can with this reproach speedily dispose of the frequently surprising results of scientific research or at least invalidate these results. This reproach is justified only in so far as it warns Science not to treat unproved hypotheses as if they were already proved, and not to posit them as actual laws or facts before it is really known whether they are laws of immutable validity or indeed facts at all. But the reproach is unjustifiable when it is intended to forbid Science advancing hypotheses and working with them as a basis. Hypotheses are absolutely indispensable for research in every branch of Science, and especially in Natural Science which more than any other perhaps is surrounded by unsolved problems. In the most extensive region of scientific research, the region of cosmic physics, there are some hypotheses of which the man of science is conscious that while they have been no more than mere hypotheses they have proved quite indispensable for his discoveries. Such hypotheses are the existence of ether, of the atom, of the molecule. No one can perceive these substances in any empirical way (that is " by experience "), and yet, without taking these for granted, the most important work and noblest triumphs o
Download or read book Theology and the Scientific Imagination written by Amos Funkenstein and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theology and the Scientific Imagination is a pioneering work of intellectual history that transformed our understanding of the relationship between Christian theology and the development of science. Distinguished scholar Amos Funkenstein explores the metaphysical foundations of modern science and shows how, by the 1600s, theological and scientific thinking had become almost one. Major figures like Descartes, Leibniz, Newton, and others developed an unprecedented secular theology whose debt to medieval and scholastic thought shaped the trajectory of the scientific revolution. The book ends with Funkenstein’s influential analysis of the seventeenth century’s “unprecedented fusion” of scientific and religious language. Featuring a new foreword, Theology and the Scientific Imagination is a pathbreaking and classic work that remains a fundamental resource for historians and philosophers of science.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Sacred Theology written by ABRAHAM KUYPER (JR.) and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encyclopedia of Sacred Theology: Its Principles is the second in a three-volume series. Written by Abraham Kuyper and translated into English by Reverend J. Hendrick Devries, it is a massive book about the history of theology and its place amongst the sciences. This volume does not contain the typical contents of an encyclopedia. Instead of a series of short entries on a variety of topics, Kuyper's book reads much more like a history text. The book is divided into three parts, each of which consists of multiple chapters. The first part is a discussion of the very name of the Theological Encyclopedia, and whether this is an appropriate naming convention to follow. The second part examines the organism of science, and theology's place within the accepted scientific disciplines. The third and final part is a detailed discussion of theology itself, with chapters on the conception, methods and history of the discipline, and more. The book concludes with a brief index of the topics discussed and the proper names referred to. Kuyper's work is extensive and challenging. The book presents an extremely detailed and nuanced discussion of the nature of theology. At more than 700 pages, it is no short work, particularly when one considers that it is only one volume in a three-volume set. Kuyper's Encyclopedia of Sacred Theology: Its Principles is an advanced work about the study of theology. It is not a 'light' read, but one that contains an enormous amount of information. For those serious about the study of theology, Kuyper's work cannot be missed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

While these things are in progress by one portion of mankind, another learns to seize and control a sunbeam, in a manner subservient to the progress of the fine arts, and by which means a man performs in a minute the work which a.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An author on the cutting edge of today's theology and science discussions argues that creedal Christianity has much to contribute to the ongoing conversation. This book contains an intellectual history of theology's engagement with science during the modern period, critiques current approaches, and makes a constructive proposal for how a Christian theological vision of natural knowledge can be better pursued. The author explains that it is good both for religion and for science when Christians treat theology as their first truth discourse. Foreword by David Bentley Hart.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Christ to God: A Study in Scientific Theology This volume is a statement, in part, of the Gospel of Christ and of His teaching about Himself and God; and an argument proving that this statement reproduces correctly the actual teaching of Christ and proving that His teaching is true. It is an attempt to show that by a strictly historical and scientific and philosophical method definite and assured results may be reached touching the unseen foundations of religion. Such a work belongs to Systematic Theology. For it contains definite statements arranged in order so as to convey one harmonious conception. In the series of which this is the first volume, I hope to give, in short outline, an exposition of all that is known by man touching the unseen basis of religion, thus covering the whole chief matter of Systematic Theology. This work belongs equally to Christian Evidences. For step by step these statements are supported by what claims to be conclusive argument. In other words I endeavour to prove that the orderly statements here given represent objective reality. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
