Modern notions of divine agency are shown to have developed out of the interaction of three factors in early modernity. Two are well known: late medieval perfect-being theology and the early modern application of the notion of the two books of God's revelation to the understanding of the natural order. It is argued the third is the early modern appropriation of the Augustinian doctrine of inspiration. This assumes the soul's existence and a particular description of divine agency in humans, which became more generally applied to divine agency in nature. Whereas Newton explicitly draws the parallel between divine agency in humans and that in nature, Darwin rejects its supposed perfection and Huxley raised serious questions regarding the traditional understanding of the soul. This book offers an alternative incarnational description of divine agency, freeing consideration of divine agency from being dependent on resolving the complex issues of perfect-being theology and the existence of the soul. In conversation with Barth's pneumatology, this proposal is shown to remain theologically coherent and plausible while resolving or avoiding a range of known difficulties in the science-theology dialogue." -- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Divine agency: a source of unresolved issues between theology and science -- Divine agency, inspiration, perfection, and generic theology -- Newton and God/providence inspiring the universe -- Divine agency implying perfection and the existance of the metaphysical soul -- Describing divine agency in humans pneumatologically and christologically beginning with Christ -- Dialogue with one obstacle removed. 650 0 $a Religion and science. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85112579 650 0 $a Providence and government of God. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85108013 600 10 $a Newton, Isaac, $d 1642-1727. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79007443 600 10 $a Barth, Karl, $d 1886-1968. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79069765 650 7 $a Religion and science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093848 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213015528.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3BB25312E61E11E7AB1B6A7197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
