Reviews
"The question of life - the nature, meaning, and value of human and non-human life - is the most pressing of our time. Carmody Grey offers a potent challenge to any scientific monopoly over this question and opens up a compelling theological and philosophical exploration of life. This is a vital book." --Simon Oliver, Durham University, UK "With Theology, Science and Life , Carmody Grey has positioned herself at the forefront of the newly invigorated debates over the nature of life and the relation between theology, metaphysics and modern science as well as the effort to save organic life from the reductionism inherent in our established forms of analysis. I cannot recommend highly enough a close and careful reading of this rich and insightful book. It will transform the way one thinks about these vital questions and is destined to leave a lasting mark on the debate." --Michael Hanby, The Catholic University of America, USA, "The question of life - the nature, meaning, and value of human and non-human life - is the most pressing of our time.

The task for theology remains to commit itself to interdisciplinary learning so that it might tell the right story about creatures and creation. Grey's achievement is to remind us that this was always its highest authority of all." -- Science & Christian Belief, "[Carmody Grey's] presentation of a new radically orthodox approach to science is as lucid as ether; her adjudicationof difficult issues never comes forward as contentious, and she argues her points clearly; her staging of a conversation between Hans Jonas's philosophy of life and Christiantheology proves to be incredibly generative for further thinking in this area." -- Anglican Theological Review "The question of life - the nature, meaning, and value of human and non-human life - is the most pressing of our time.

Synopsis
Offering a bold intervention in the ongoing debate about the relationship between 'theology' and 'science', Theology, Science and Life proposes that the strong demarcation between the two spheres is unsustainable; theology occurs within and not outside what we call 'science', and 'science' occurs within and not outside theology. The book applies this in a penetrating way to the most topical, contentious and philosophically charged science of late modernity: biology. Rejecting the easy dualism of expressions such as 'theology and science', 'theology or science', modern biology is examined so as to illuminate the nature of both. In making this argument, the book achieves two further things. It is the first major English-language reception and application of the thought of philosopher Hans Jonas in theology, and it makes a decisive contribution to the unfolding reception of 'Radical Orthodoxy', one of the most influential schools in contemporary Anglophone theology., Explores the nature of theology and its relationship to other disciplines, with a particular focus on life science, and that all knowledge is intrinsically theological.

- s***p (563)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBrand new and sealed, high quality, great price below retail. Looks great. Packaged well, shipped soon and arrived quickly. Only issue was communications. For the first couple of days after shipping there was no tracking info. When I inquired about this I received what read like a computer generated response strangely asking me for info to identify the product, even though the message I sent was through eBay and for this product. But, then, tracking info appeared after a few days.

The item was well packaged and promptly arranged for shipping. They described it accurately and honestly, and the item arrived in new, as described condition. The price provided good value considering the item's condition!
- o***h (437)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasePerfect new book! Excellent packaging! Free shipping......though slow as molasses. This company utilizes shipping partners and apparently they have a lot of shipping partners and everyone of them had their hands on the package before it got into the hands of USPS who finally shipped the package. Good communication.
