Description: Benjamin Reist argues that the revelation of the living God is always on the move, never capable of reaching completion because God always has something to say. He believes that contextual theology must include postmodern science, hermeneutics, and theological ethics, and that liberation theology and the natural sciences must be understood together. Drawing upon the developments of contextual theology, the author explores four great turnings in modern science that have affected our understanding of ultimate issues: evolution, relativity, uncertainty, and incompleteness.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 195-201) and index.
