DESCRIPTION:
The theological import of contemporary cosmology, they argue, points ultimately to an ethic that centers on self-sacrifice and nonviolence. What is the ethical import of contemporary scientific cosmology? How does our understanding of the universe relate to our most pressing social concerns? How do the disparate fields of theology, ethics, and the sciences relate to each other? Murphy and Ellis offer a coherent construction of these relations and show how a particular moral vision-a "kenotic" ethic-is supported "from below" by the social sciences and "from above" by theology. In ambition, rigor, and scale, in its search for an integrated and coherent worldview at a time of unprecedented complexity and uncertainty, readers will find this volume daring and important.

Dana "Dr.D" Richardson said Fantastic questions, read it and think!. If you want easy theology without the deep and difficult to deal with side of things, leave this out. But if you are like me and know that ignorance is no excuse when considering something as important as the eternal nature of the soul and the universe it exist. slow going, but this book is a revelation Giovanni This book is unique in its depth, scope, and humility. I have been interested in these themes for a while, and I think people of any faith will appreciate the painstaking care that has been taken to integrate knowledge/evidence from experiment, logic, and exper
