Nature, Reality, and the Sacred: The Nexus of Science and Religion
Two partial apprehensions of nature vied for dominance in the
past century: religious (void of any influence from
science) and scientific (unable to admit any
reality, beyond the empirical). Both views
have led to the exploitation of nature --
and the scientific may prove even more
devastating. The fault, Gilkey argues, lies
not in the scientific knowledge of nature
but in the assumed philosophy of science
that accompanies most scientific and
technological practice. Scientific knowing
needs to be critiqued and brought into
relationship with other complementary ways
of knowing.

"Once again, Gilkey expands our vision and deepens our insight. He has given us a classic contribution to a theology of nature that emerges from a careful conversation with the natural sciences."
--Philip Hefner
"Gilkey's mature venture into the waters of science-theology is a sensitive appeal to discern the religious dimension that underlies science and the science that religion must have. His strident thoughts seek to steer through the reefs of both scientism and creationism."
