Abstract

This stimulating and wide-ranging book mounts a profound enquiry into some of the most pressing questions of our age, by examining the relationship between biological science and Christianity. The history of biological discovery is explored from the point of view of a leading philosopher and ethicist. What effect should modern biological theory and practice have on Christian understanding of ethics? How much of that theory and practice should Christians endorse? Can Christians, for example, agree that biological changes are not governed by transcendent values, or that there are no clear or essential boundaries between species? To what extent can 'Nature' set our standards? Professor Clark takes a reasoned look at biological theory since Darwin and argues that an orthodox Christian philosophy is better able to accommodate the truth of such theory than is the sort of progressive, meliorist interpretation of Christian doctrine which is usually offered as the properly 'modern' option.

Abstract

This book presents the case for belief in both creation and evolution at the same time as rejecting creationism. Issues of meaning supply the context of inquiry; the book defends the meaningfulness of language about God, and also relates belief in both creation and evolution to the meaning of life. Meaning, it claims, can be found in consciously adopting the role of stewards of the planetary biosphere, and thus of the fruits of creation. Distinctive features include a sustained case for a realist understanding of language about God; a contemporary defence of some of the arguments for belief in God and in creation; a sifting of different versions of Darwinism and their implications for religious belief; a Darwinian account of the relation of predation and other apparent evils to creation; a new presentation of the argument from the world's value to the purposiveness of evolution; and discussions of whether or not meaning itself evolves, and of religious and secular bases for belief in stewardship.

Abstract

Can the origins of morality be explained entirely in evolutionary terms? If so, what are the implications for Christian moral theology and ethics? Is the latter redundant, as socio-biologists often assert? Stephen Pope argues that theologians need to engage with evolutionary theory rather than ignoring it. He shows that our growing knowledge of human evolution is compatible with Christian faith and morality, provided that the former is not interpreted reductionistically and the latter is not understood in fundamentalist ways. Christian ethics ought to incorporate evolutionary approaches to human nature to the extent that they provide helpful knowledge of the conditions of human flourishing, both collective and individual. From this perspective, a strong affirmation of human dignity and appreciation for the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity is consistent with a revised account of natural law and the cardinal virtues.

Abstract

Peut-on concilier foi religieuse et raison scientifique ? La Bible est-elle un manuel d'histoire naturelle ? Darwin est-il en croisade contre Dieu ? Autant d'anciennes questions et de débats houleux qui reviennent aujourd'hui au premier plan de l'actualité. Aux États-Unis particulièrement, où les États, un siècle et demi après la publication de l'Origine des Espèces, sont amenés à légiférer sur l'enseignement de la théorie darwinienne ou de ses opposantes ; mais les pays européens sont désormais eux aussi confrontés aux mêmes revendications de la part des lobbies créationnistes. Dans un monde où la science a perdu sa capacité à émerveiller et suscite parfois la méfiance, tous les discours semblent se valoir. Il faut le génie pédagogique de Jacques Arnould pour nous aider à démêler les arguments et les enjeux, les positions théologiques et politiques. Il nous aide ainsi à situer la théorie dite de l'Intelligent Design, « sous-marin » créationniste pour les uns, compromission scientiste pour les autres, et surtout, il prend clairement position : non pas Dieu ou Darwin, mais Dieu et Darwin. À travers cette relecture limpide de l'éternel débat entre foi et raison, il nous ouvre à une intelligence nouvelle de notre modernité.
