SCIENCE AND SERIOUS THEOLOGY: TWO PATHS FOR SCIENCE AND RELIGION'S FUTURE?

Abstract

Although they take different approaches, both Taede A. Smedes and Kevin Sharpe have challenged the theology‐and‐science enterprise and raised important questions about theological and scientific assumptions behind this work. Smedes argues that theology should be taken more seriously, and Sharpe believes that theology should be more scientific. A proposed middle way involves engaging in the dialogue itself and exploring the questions and methodological implications that arise in the context of problem‐focused interactions.

Keywords

theology and science, Taede A. Smedes, Kevin Sharpe, divine action, rationality
