This comprehensive handbook explores the intricate connections between scientific investigations of our world and Christian concepts of the Divine,spanning from ancient Greek philosophy to contemporary ecotheology. It examines the profound intersections between Christian theology and various scientific disciplines,from Augustine to Hildegard of Bingen,Genesis to Frederick Douglass,and physics to sociology. The handbook's central objective is to introduce fresh perspectives to the forefront of Christian theological engagement with science,highlighting the numerous engagements that often go unnoticed as science-theology discussions.

To achieve this, the handbook encompasses a diverse range of features. It includes substantial representation from the three major branches of Christianity: Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant. Additionally, it features multiple essays on contemporary scientific topics that have not traditionally been part of the "theology and science" dialogue,such as discussions of race, medicine, and sociology. Furthermore, the handbook presents a collection of essays on historical theologians' approaches to nature and science, shedding light on their insights and perspectives.

The handbook is organized into three sections: historical explorations, Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox surveys of theology-science scholarship in the 20th and 21st centuries, and ten explorations in Christian theology today. The 24 chapters that comprise the volume provide a valuable resource for scholars, students, and laypersons alike, equipping them with essential insights for future conversations surrounding science and Christian theology.
