Theology, Science and Life: Religion and the University
Autor Dr Carmody Greyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 ian 2023
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.

Recenzii
[Carmody Grey's] presentation of a new radically orthodox approach to science is as lucid as ether; her adjudication of 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 Christian theology proves to be incredibly generative for further thinking in this area.
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.
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.
Grey's book is convincing in its transparent and consequential presentation of the material and argumentation, and the inclusion of Hans Jonas is fruitful within the book's framework.
The book's impressive clarity and originality are grounded in humility and provisionality. 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.
