The volume embodies anddevelops the recent revival of interest in natural theology as a topic of serious critical engagement.

Of interest to students and scholars from a wide range of disciplines, this authoritative handbook draws on the very best of contemporary scholarship to present a critical overview of the subject area. Thirty eight new essays trace the transformations of natural theology in different historical andreligious contexts, the place of natural theology in different philosophical traditions and diverse scientific disciplines, and the various cultural and aesthetic approaches to natural theology to reveal a rich seam of multi-faceted theological reflection rooted in human nature and the environmentswithin which we find ourselves. | The Oxford Handbook of Natural Theology by Russell Re Manning, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
