Description: "In Today's Postmodern World, cognitive pluralism has become one of the primary challenges to science and theology. Elements of unity and disunity abound in both disciplines, making fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue between theology and the natural sciences all the more difficult. In this volume six leading American and European scientist-theologians rethink the relationship of theology and science under the growing challenge of pluralism. Moving beyond the work of first-generation thinkers in the field, each contributor to this volume introduces one of six new models for the ongoing dialogue between science and theology."--BOOK JACKET.
