Niels Henrik Gregersen
-- University of Copenhagen
"LeRon Shults here offers one of the first comprehensive accounts
of the relevance of science for contemporary Christology, and vice
versa. At once a multifaceted and highly accessible book." David
Fergusson
-- University of Edinburgh
"A clear and imaginative attempt to address some of the central
tasks in Christology by employing conceptual resources from the
natural sciences. . . Deserves close attention." Robert John
Russell
-- Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley
"In this exemplary engagement between Christian theology and
contemporary science, via specific case studies involving
evolutionary biology, cultural anthropology, and physical
cosmology, LeRon Shults offers profound new insights into a
Christology for our time. In the process he engages some of the
leading figures in theology and science. This book is part of
Shults's wider project of reforming Christian theology in dialogue
with such philosophical areas as epistemology, ethics, and
metaphysics. Essential reading for scholars and laypersons alike
who are passionate about theology and science." Alan G.
Padgett
-- Luther Seminary
"Christology and Science brings together two topics that for
many have nothing to do with each other. Shults innovatively shows
how philosophy and contemporary science can help Christians rethink
the core of their belief, that is, the 'science' of Christ.
Theologians and those involved in the dialogue between religion and
science have much to learn from Shults's creative proposal."
Dirk Evers
-- University of Tubingen
"Fascinating. . . Provides challenging reinterpretations that allow
for new ways of articulating the significance of Christ."
Theological Studies
"The text is artfully crafted, and each chapter provides a good
general overview of current conversations at the intersection of
science and theology." Scottish Journal of Theology
"A bold and extremely stimulating piece of theological thinking,
which I warmly recommend." Anglican Theological Review
"A brilliant example of a thoughtful, effective integration of
science and theology." Perspectives on Science & Christian
Faith
"Shults' constructive model for understanding Christology is a
convincing effort to relate Christianity and science, and it should
be of genuine interest to many readers."
