Science And The Trinity

Most often, the dialogue between religion and science is initiated by the discoveries of modern science—big bang cosmology, evolution, or quantum theory, for example. In this book, scientist-theologian John Polkinghorne changes the discussion. He approaches the dialogue from a little-explored perspective in which theology shapes the argument and sets the agenda of questions to be considered. The author begins with a review of approaches to science and religion in which the classification focuses on theological content rather than on methodological technique. He then proceeds with chapters discussing the role of Scripture, a theology of nature, the doctrine of God, sacramental theology, and eschatology. Throughout, Polkinghorne takes the perspective of Trinitarian thinking while arguing in a style that reflects the influence of his career as a theoretical physicist. In the final chapter, the author defends the appropriateness of addressing issues of science and religion from the specific standpoint of his Christian belief. His book provides an important model for theologians and scientists alike, showing how their two fields can inform one another in significant ways.

Besides containing insights from both expert scientists and theologians, The Trinity and an Entangled World considers the way in which these parallel insights can contribute to a harmonious dialogue between science and religion. --Book Jacket.

“The Physics & Sciences of the Holy Trinity: ONE GOD!” is a comparative analysis between the known sciences and Bible scripture. This study reveals how God, the master scientist, used His created laws of science to manifest His triune nature to us. Scientific plausibility is revealed for a literal six day creation and a young Universe. This book builds Christian faith for a new Heaven, new Earth, and immortal bodies. This work demonstrates how the Bible gives credibility to current scientific theories and vice versa. Reading these pages you will discover how bible scripture supports many scientific assertions. People who read this novel are pleasantly startled and exclaim that they have never thought of life in this way before. This is an inspiration of the divine because it presents scientific based hope of life forever with miraculous purpose. This novel will open the flood gates of discovering exciting new ways of thinking and speaking that will usher in a new era of doing greater works than Christ Jesus did (John 14:12). Creation evidence is scientifically verifiable and mathematically sound. Christianity is evidence-based not blind faith. All of creation displays order and pattern that is intelligently designed, and does so with purposeful super complexity that defies human understanding. This textbook uses the same body of techniques used in the scientific method of investigation. Pure science and easy to understand. A learning teaching tool. Discover why our good God allows pain, evil, and a multitude of opposites, why we experience a fallen Earth.

One of our great theologians, also a physicist, here sets a new agenda for religion's dialogue with science Most often, the dialogue between religion and science is initiated by the discoveries of modern science--big bang cosmology, evolution, or quantum theory, for example.

Does modern natural science suggest the existence of the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit? How can we explain eternity and Heaven? Who is the Holy Spirit? Physicist Dirk Schneider beckons his readers to follow him on an enthralling journey of discovery over the course of which he comes up with an entirely new theory. In order to be able to explain the world we live in from the perspective of quantum physics, the existence of the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit is apparently a necessity. Schneider's analysis uncovers surprising and easy-to-understand congruencies between the results of physics experiments and statements made in the Bible. What's more: the phenomena of quantum physics are easier to understand with the assistance of Biblical statements than they are without the Bible. Table of Contents 1. A long nightmare begins 2.

Joseph A. Bracken argues that the failure of theology and science to generate cohesion is the lack of an integrated system of interpretation of the Christian faith that consciously accords with the insights and discoveries of contemporary science. Bracken utilizes the language and conceptual structures of systems theory as a philosophical and scientific grammar to show traditional Christian beliefs in a new light that is accessible and rationally plausible to a contemporary, scientifically influenced society.

The Divine Dance has become a classic for fans of Richard Rohr and an important book on Christian mysticism, it provides a fresh perspective for anyone studying or teaching the trinity. The Trinity is the central doctrine of Christianity, but it is still widely considered a mystery we won't ever fully understand. Should we still try to understand it, even so? If we could, how would it transform our relationship with God? In this stimulating and thought-provoking book, internationally recognised teacher Richard Rohr explores the nature of God and the paradoxical idea of the Holy Trinity as both three and one. With clear, surefooted wisdom, he encourages us to build on the early Christian understanding of the relationship between Father, Son and Spirit as a flow and dance - a Divine Dance - that we are invited to join in. An engaging, accessible look at the nature of God, The Divine Dance will challenge the way you think about the Trinity and give you a much fuller understanding of the triune relationship that is at the heart of Christian doctrine. It will leave you with a faith that is renewed and strengthened, and show you how you can engage more deeply in your relationship with God and the world through the Trinity.
