Theology and Science: Loving Science, Discovering the Divine

This Special Issue grew out of a simple conviction of the co-editors, that love for science and technology need not stand in unhealthy, oppositional tension with the search for the divine. Careful attention to scientific discovery and technological innovation can open up fresh pathways for theological reflection, and, in turn, theological traditions can offer critical and constructive guidance for how science and technology are imagined, developed, and utilized. Under the theme "Theology and Science: Loving Science, Discovering the Divine," the essays in this collection explore those pathways across a range of religious traditions, scientific disciplines, and ethical questions.This collection of articles reflects the complexity of the theme of this issue. Love does not mean unequivocally endorsing all scientific conclusions or proposals. Love does mean digging deeply into the promise and perils of science. And the divine is not always discovered through engagement with science. Yet critical engagement with science can help us to discover the possible goods that science can at times yield.
