| Summary: | Ted Peters constructs a Cosmic History that depicts the inextricable connection between the human and the natural plus its ethical consequences. Even though I might assent to some of Peters’ conclusions, I see three problems. First, Peters makes a shift from present philosophical subjectivity (chapter 1) to scientific objectivity (chapter 17) and back to present confessional subjectivity (conclusion and afterword). But this shift seems far more easy than it really is. Second, Peters’ list of alternative models for the divine do not fit, hermeneutically speaking, biblical language. Third, in his haste to incorporate naturalistic and apologetic alternatives into his own framework, I believe Peters thinks too little of Christian faith, and too much of non-Christian faith. |
