Recenzii
'According
to
Larry
Chapp,
theology
is
left
with
two
dire
options
in
the
aftermath
of
naturalism's
apparent
cultural
triumph.
"Provide
modernity
with
an
intellectually
cogent
theological
vision
or
perish,
along
with
that
same
culture,
in
the
wasteland
of
our
nihilism."
Chapp's
important
book
is
grounds
for
hope
that
theology
may
live
to
see
another
day
and
that
the
pervasive
nihilism
may
not
have
the
last
word.
He
correctly
diagnoses
the
intellectual
and
cultural
dangers
posed
by
so-called
scientific
naturalism,
lifting
the
lid
on
its
alleged
metaphysical
neutrality
and
exposing
this
naturalism
for
what
it
fundamentally
is:
a
bad
theology
which
doesn't
know
itself.
And
more
importantly
still,
he
restores
theology
to
its
proper
cosmological
scope.
Not
only
does
'creation'
become
intellectually
compelling
in
Chapp's
deft
hands,
it
elicits
wonder
and
praise
for
its
Creator
and
restores
what
is
human
in
us.
This
is
a
hopeful
development
indeed
and
a
sign
of
an
indispensible
book.'

'Chapp is right that theology matters. The world is at an intellectual crossroad shaped in large measure by a liberal ideology masquerading as a set of neutral technical procedures. Nothing short of a sustained mutual engagement between the metaphysics implicit in modern science and a "full-bodied confessional Christianity" will succeed in exposing and transforming this ideology.' - David L. Schindler, Provost and Gagnon Professor of Fundamental Theology, Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family, at The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC, USA.
