The End of the World and the Ends of God

The discourse among science and religious philosophy has developed to mammoth extents over the previous decade. These two controls look consistently to find their shared belief. Each control is restless to warrant its own fact claims concerning the idea of the real world and the idea of God.In request to be productive, such exchange, contend the creators of this gathering, should concentrate on one subject. In this volume, 16 researchers and scholars fight that eschatology gives a typical worry to both philosophy and the sciences. Eschatology, they guarantee, will “help clear up and develop the contrasts between truth asserts in both fields.” Moreover, an attention on eschatology offers a chance to look at the reasons individuals can be confident and idealistic even despite physical passing and the finitude of the universe.Included in this provocative gathering are papers on “eschatology and the common sciences,” “eschatology in social sciences and ethics,” “eschatology in the scriptural tradition,” and “eschatology and theology.”John Polkinghorne is the leader of Queens’ College, Cambridge and the creator of Reason and Reality (Trinity) and Serious Talk: Science and Religion in Dialog (Trinity). Michael Welker educates at the University of Heidelberg.Contributors to the volume incorporate William R.
