An Orthodox Understanding of God's Two Books: The Bible And Science As Far As It Relates To Physical Science by Geoffrey Ernest Stedman Pdf

For Centuries, the Christian world and the scientific world have supposedly been at odds. Those who strictly believe that God created the universe have had difficulty accepting such scientific concepts as the speed of light, the immense distance of astronomy, and the long ages of radioactivity and earth science. "I am incredibly pleased and relieved that God allowed Geoffrey to publish such a well-structured, non biased, factual book, explaining how Science and Christianity coexist in our world. If everyone read this book, of course, after having read and understood scripture, we would have a lot less pointless, narrow minded opinions of persons defending biased viewpoints based on ignorance. Not a very Christian thing to say I know, but having read a lot of strange material published on the internet, I can quite honestly understand why there is such so much confusion regarding Christianity and Science. This is by far the most down to earth, unbiased, factual piece of writing I have read in a very long time. Geoffrey is clearly a very qualified and talented Scientist, and also a very fine example of a Christian. He is very careful not to judge people in situations, as a Christian must do, and with great knowledge, explains everything one needs to know based on Truth. I sincerely hope that this book is read and understood, by as many people as possible." Reviews from Stefano, Amazon

Science and the Eastern Orthodox Church by Daniel Buxhoeveden,Gayle Woloschak Pdf

Science and the Eastern Orthodox Church explores core theological and philosophical notions and contentious topics such as evolution from the vantage point of science, Orthodox theology, and the writings of popular recent Orthodox critics as well as supporters. Examining what science is and why Eastern Orthodox Christians should be concerned about the topic, including a look at well known 20th century figures that are considered holy elders or saints in the Orthodox Church and their relationship and thoughts about science, contributors analyse the historical contingencies that contribute to the relationship of the Orthodox Church and science both in the past and present. Part II includes critiques of science and considers its limitations and strengths in light of Orthodox understandings of the experience of God and the so called miraculous, together with analysis of two Orthodox figures of the 20th century that were highly critical of science, it's foundations and metaphysical assumptions. Part III looks at selected topics in science and how they relate to Orthodox theology, including evolution, brain evolution and consciousness, beginning of life science, nanotechnology, stem cell research and others. Drawing together leading Orthodox scientists, theologians, and historians confronting some of the critical issues and uses of modern science, this book will be useful for students, academics and clergy who want to develop a greater understanding of how to relate Orthodoxy to science.

Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins by Robert C. Bishop,Larry L. Funck,Raymond J. Lewis,Stephen O. Moshier,John H. Walton Pdf

The question of origins remains a stumbling block for many. But just as the Psalmist gained insight into God's character through the observation of nature, modern scientific study can deepen and enrich our vision of the Creator and our place in his creation. In this often contentious field Bishop, Funck, Lewis, Moshier, and Walton serve as our able guides. Based on over two decades of teaching origins together in the classroom, the authors present a textbook exploring mainstream scientific theories of origins in astronomy, cosmology, chemistry, geology, biology, physical anthropology, and genetics. While many authors engage origins from a Christian perspective, this is the first work offering a full-fledged discussion of the scientific narrative of origins from the Big Bang through humankind, from biblical and theological perspectives accessible to a lay audience. Topics include Principles of biblical interpretation Close readings of relevant Genesis texts A comprehensive Trinitarian doctrine of creation Cosmic origins The geologic history of Earth The origin of life on Earth The origin of species and diversity of life Human origins New creation and creation care Science education Rather than the familiar scenario where science and faith compete, this book seeks to diffuse tensions by taking the inspiration and authority of the Bible seriously while respecting and honoring God's revelation through creation. Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins gives the reader a detailed picture of the sciences of origins along with how they fit into the story of God's creative and redemptive action. BioLogos Books on Science and Christianity invite us to see the harmony between the sciences and biblical faith on issues including cosmology, biology, paleontology, evolution, human origins, the environment, and more.

Echoes of Coinherence by W. Ross Hastings Pdf

This book re-imagines the universe (and the scientific study of it) through the lens of a triune Creator, three persons of irreducible identity in a perichoretic or coinherent communion. It modestly proposes that Trinitarian theology, and especially the coinherent natures of the Son in the incarnation, provides the metaphysic or "theory of everything" that manifests itself in the subject matter of science. The presence of the image of the triune God in humanity and of traces of this God in the non-human creation are discussed, highlighting ontological resonances between God and creation (resonances between the being of God and his creation), such as goodness, immensity-yet-particularity, intelligibility, agency, relationality, and beauty. This Trinitarian reality suggests there should be a similarity also with respect to how we know in theology and science (critical realism), something reflected in the history of ideas in each. These resonances lead to the conclusion that the disciplines of theology and science are, in fact, coinherent, not conflicted. This involves recognition of both the mutuality of these vocations and also, importantly, their particularity. Science, its own distinct guild, yet finds its place ensconced within an encyclopedic theology, and subject to first-order, credal theology.

The Oxford Handbook of the Bible in Orthodox Christianity by Eugen J. Pentiuc Pdf

"The Oxford Handbook of the Bible in Orthodox Christianity investigates the various ways in which Orthodox Christian, i.e., Eastern and Oriental communities have received, shaped, and interpreted the Christian Bible. The handbook is divided into five parts, including the introduction ("Balancing Tradition with Modernity") that sets the tone and scope of the volume. Part I: Text The Orthodox Church has never codified the Septuagint or any other textual witnesses as its authoritative text. Textual fluidity and pluriformity, a characteristic of Orthodoxy, is demonstrated by the various ancient and modern Bible translations such as, Syriac, Coptic, Ethiopian, Armenian, etc. Part II: Canon Unlike the Protestant and Roman-Catholic situations where the canon of the Bible, specifically the Old Testament canons which are "closed" and limited to 39 and 46 books, respectively, the Orthodox canon is "open-ended" consisting of 39 canonical books and 10 or more (e.g., Ethiopian canon) anaginoskomena "readable" books (Septuagint additions). Part III: Scripture within Tradition Unlike the classical Protestant view of sola scriptura and the Roman Catholic way of placing Scripture and Tradition on par as sources / means of divine revelation, the Orthodox view accords a central role to Scripture within Tradition, with the latter conceived not as a deposit of faith but rather as the Church's life through history. Part IV: Towards an Orthodox Hermeneutics and Part V: Looking to the Future The last two parts survey Orthodox "traditional" hermeneutics consisting mainly of patristic commentaries and liturgical interpretations found in hymnography and iconography, and the ways by which Orthodox biblical scholars balance these traditional hermeneutics with modern historical-critical approaches to the Bible"--

The Bible and Science by Eddie D. Leach Pdf

The author has been a Christian since his youth. Upon discovering a love for science in grade school, he pursued that interest throughout his entire life. Sadly, he found disagreement and conflict between the Christian only and Science only viewpoints. Since he was both a Christian and a scientist, he had to resolve in his mind these differences for his own spiritual and scientific well being. For more than sixty years, he has carefully formulated the words and concepts in this book that he hopes and prays will help others reach an understanding that both the Bible and the discoveries in science are true and reconcilable. God does not lie to us or mislead us. God is responsible for both His Bible and His Creation. Thus, any conflicts we find in the study of these two revelations from God result from our inability to interpret and understand properly either one or the other, or some of each. To more fully understand God, one must study both Gods words (the Bible) and the scientific discoveries of the footprints and fingerprints He left during the creation process that we are now able to find and interpret. We must correlate His words and His works to more fully understand Him. We must always be aware that our first impressions may not be entirely correct and that we must always continue to compare all our findings and interpretations with each other in an effort to seek and achieve the greater truth.
