A propos de cet article

A 2001 ECPA Gold Medallion Award winner!A 2001 Christianity Today Award of Merit winner!Science is the supreme authority in our culture.If there is a dispute, science arbitrates it. If a law is to be passed, science must ratify it. If truth is to be taught, science must approve it. And when science is ignored, storms of protest are heard in the media, in the university--even in local coffee shops.While we may learn a great deal from science, it does not offer us unlimited knowledge.In fact, most scientists readily acknowledge that science cannot provide answers to questions of ultimate purpose or meaning.

He looks to thinkers such as Newbigin, Polanyi and Pascal to lay a foundation for our seeingthe universe in a totally different way. And from that base he then considers the educational programs and research agendas that should be undertaken--and have already begun in some earnest--during this new century.…
