Dorothy F. (ed.) Chappell
Summary
:
A look at the questions students should be asking as they study the natural sciences in relation to the Christian worldview and think critically about God's creation. This book argues that it is possible for our study of the natural world to enhance our understanding of God and for our faith to inform and influence our study and application of science. The contributors provide a systematic approach to both raising and answering the key questions that emerge at the intersection of faith and various disciplines in the natural sciences. Among the questions addressed are the context, limits, benefits, and practice of science in light of Christian values. Questions of ethics as they relate to various applied sciences are also discussed. The end goal is an informed biblical worldview on both nature and our role in obeying Godś mandate to care for his creation.
