Western society continues to be faced with numerous consequences of pluralism - ecological concerns, global imbalances, racial injustices, and gender discrimination. Christianity, at the same time, is confronting its own lack of superiority or cultural dominance. How can Christian theology face these issues to construct a theology for the twenty-first century? In this book Gilkey articulates constructive proposals for addressing such issues. Rather than steering around the multiple challenges of pluralism, he offers insights to help shape a viable theology.
This vivid diary of life in a Japanese internment camp during World War II examines the moral challenges encountered in conditions of confinement and deprivation.
A thoughtful, clear consideration of the Christian idea of creation, placing this basic Christian tenet in the setting of recent insights from the physical sciences, metaphysical philosophy, and the study of myth and symbol.
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.
