- A timely and innovative resource on natural theology: the exploration of knowledge of God as it is observed through nature
- Written by internationally regarded theologian and author of
numerous bestselling books, Alister McGrath
- Develops an intellectually rigorous vision of natural theology
as a point of convergence between the Christian faith, the arts and
literature, and the natural sciences, opening up important
possibilities for dialogue and cross-fertilization
- Sets forth a new approach to the study of natural theology, re-establishing its legitimacy and utility
- Treats natural theology as a cultural phenomenon, broader than
Christianity itself yet always possessing a distinctively Christian
embodiment
- Explores topics including beauty, goodness, truth, and the theological imagination; how investigating nature gives rise to both theological and scientific theories; the idea of a distinctively Christian approach to nature; and how natural theology can function as a bridge between Christianity and other faiths
