| Summary: | This article critically examines Paul Tyson's contribution to the "After Science and Religion" project and his book A Christian Theology of Science, highlighting problems that are characteristic of the broader Radical Orthodoxy movement. I give four basic principles to guide theologians in their engagement with the sciences and use them to show the multiple ways that Tyson's argument falls short of them. The article advocates for a more nuanced approach as exemplified by John Polkinghorne, who models how theology can engage meaningfully with scientific findings while respecting the integrity of multiple disciplines. |
