Oxford Handbook of Natural Theology [Kõva köide]

Bringing together 38 authors from a vast range of backgrounds into this huge volume is an amazing feat in itself. Given all the authors and the editor are from academia immediately means that the contributions are weighty and require careful study. * John Wood, The Reader * In sum, this book combines diversity of approach with brevity and flashes of genuine depth. Few contributions will fail to leave even the specialist reader a little wiser about natural theology, an ancient subject that continues to provoke fruitful debates across an astonishingly interdisciplinary array of traditions. * James Orr, St. John's College, Cambridge * magnificent compendium * Reviews in Science and Religion * A striking feature of this book is the presence of critiques of natural theology throughout. Most sections close with a chapter criticising natural theology from the perspective under discussion in that portion. Rarely can a handbook have devoted so much space to doubting the possibility or desirability of its subject. That is part of what makes this book so stimulating. * Revd Dr Andrew Davison, The Church Times * contains some outstanding chapters * Graham Oppy, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * This is not an introductory work to an important area of theology but it is an excellent resourse for which many students will be grateful. * Paul Richardson, Church of England Newspaper * This book combines diversity of approach with brevity and flashes of genuine depth. Few contributions will fail to leave even the specialist reader a little wiser about natural theology, an ancient subject that continues to provoke fruitful debates across an astonishingly interdisiplinary array of traditions. * James Orr, The Expository Times * [ a] valuable addition to the Oxford Handbooks in Religion and Theology series ... Recommended. * C.L. Hansen, CHOICE *
