| Summary: | The paper suggests the integration of two comparative methods as a basis for the articulation of an Analogical Comparative Theological Approach (ACTA) to the exploration of the encounter between theology and physics. ACTA integrates the methods of analogical isomorphism and comparative theology. It suggests focusing on points of discussion that are specific, relevant and engaging. A point of discussion should be an opportunity for the unfolding of the theological and scientific insights in a way that enables a cross-disciplinary enrichment. In this sense, its educational and missionary potential is substantial. Finally, the ACTA approach is applied to exploring the concept of energy which has a prominent role in both Orthodox theology and physics. Le texte suggère la combinaison de deux méthodes comparatives comme base pour l'articulation d'une approche théologique comparative analogique (ACTA) à l'exploration de la rencontre entre la théologie et la physique. Les deux méthodes sont l'isomorphisme analogique et celle de la théologie comparative. L'accent de l'approche suggérée est mis sur un point de discussion spécifique, pertinent et engageant. Le point de discussion est utilisé comme une opportunité pour le développement des connaissances théologiques et scientifiques de manière à permettre un enrichissement interdisciplinaire. Dans ce sens, ACTA offre un potentiel éducatif et missionnaire substantiel. Finalement, l'approche ACTA est appliquée à l'exploration du concept d'énergie, qui joue un rôle de premier plan dans la théologie Orthodoxe et la physique. |
