have been looking
for parallels, points of contact, consonance, crossovers, and
conflations. Their
emerging new discipline as yet without a name is studying
developments in natural
science -- especially physics and the life sciences -- and is
engaging in serious
reflection on various loci of Christian doctrine. Scientists and
theologians are engaged
in a common search for shared understanding. The search is not
merely for a shared
discipline. They are not looking merely for rapprochement between
separate fields of
inquiry. Rather, scientists and theologians are aiming for increased
knowledge, for an
actual advance in the human understanding of reality. Until a name
comes along, we
will refer to this new enterprise as Theology and Natural Science.
