Joseph R. Laracy analyzes Barbour's approach, largely unexplored in the Catholic tradition, using fundamental theological criteria.

Barbour's extensive research on the relationship between theology and science earned him an invitation to deliver the esteemed Gifford Lectures in Scotland (1989-1991), and in 1999, he was awarded the prestigious Templeton Prize. In this monograph, Joseph R. Laracy delves into Ian Barbour's distinctive approach to the relationship between theology and science, which has largely been unexplored in the Catholic tradition, using fundamental theological criteria. Laracy investigates the potential for Barbour's epistemic, metaphysical, and theological principles to enrich the dialogue and integration (as coined by Barbour) of the Catholic doctrine of creation with the natural sciences. Throughout the monograph, substantial reference is made to Saint Thomas Aquinas, a Catholic monument to the doctrine of creation, particularly, and the beneficial interaction of natural philosophy, metaphysics, and revealed theology more broadly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is of interest to graduate students and scholars in the fields of fundamental and systematic theology, religion and science, the philosophy of science, and the history of science. It offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the interplay between theology and science, shedding light on the potential for dialogue and integration between these two disciplines. Barbour's work is a testament to his profound understanding of the complex relationship between faith and science, and his contributions will continue to inspire and influence scholars for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 557g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 225 x 150 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781433190056\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: New ed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joseph Laracy","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44101129830650,"sku":"9781433190056","price":76.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646261835712_book.jpg?v=1646934371","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/theology-and-science-in-the-thought-of-ian-barbour-a-thomistic-evaluation-for-the-catholic-doctrine-of-creation-9781433190056","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
