Science and the Spirit – A Pentecostal Engagement with the Sciences

Autor James K. A. Smith, Amos Yong
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2010
What might be described as a Pentecostal worldview has become a powerful cultural phenomenon, but it is often at odds with modernity and globalization. Science and the Spirit confronts questions of spirituality in the face of contemporary science. The essays in this volume illustrate how Pentecostalism can usefully engage with technology and scientific discovery and consider what might be distinctive about a Pentecostal dialogue with the sciences. The authors conclude that Pentecostals, with their unique perspectives on spirituality, can contribute new insights for a productive interaction between theology and science.

Recenzii

"Science and the Spirit should be required reading not only for undergraduates committed to various Pentecostal traditions, but to all who have an interest in the engagement of faith traditions with the sciences in a manner that respects and deepens the appreciation of both while denying neither." Ralph W. Hood, Jr., The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga"Argues for a healthy relationship between science and Pentecostalism." Denis Lamoureux, University of Alberta"This book illustrates something of the current, very preliminary, engagement that is beginning to take place between Pentecostal Christians and 'science' very broadly defined. It is a significant project." Douglas Jacobsen, Messiah College
