  1. God, Evolution, and Animal Suffering: Theodicy Without a Fall.Bethany N. Sollereder - 2018 - Routledge.
    After the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859, theologians were faced with the dilemma of God creating through evolution. Suddenly, pain, suffering, untimely death and extinction appeared to be the very tools of creation, and not a result of the sin of humanity. Despite this paradigm shift, the question of non-human suffering has been largely overlooked within theodicy debates, overwhelmed by the extreme human suffering of the twentieth century. This book redresses this imbalance by offering a rigorous (...)

  • The Blurred Line Between Theistic Evolution and Intelligent Design.Mikael Leidenhag - 2019 - Zygon 54 (4):909-931.
    It is often assumed that there is a hard line between theistic evolution (TE) and intelligent design (ID). Many theistic evolutionists subscribe to the idea that God only acts through natural processes, as opposed to the ID assertion that God, at certain points in natural history, has acted in a direct manner; directly causing particular features of the world. In this article, I argue that theistic evolutionists subscribe to what might be called Natural Divine Causation (NDC). NDC does not merely (...)

  • Physics and Metaphysics in a Trinitarian Perspective.John Polkinghorne - 2003 - Theology and Science 1 (1):33-49.
    Defining physics as inclusive of the whole of the physical world and metaphysics as a total worldview, physics provides constraints on metaphysics such as economy, scope, elegance or simplicity, and fruitfulness. Metaphysics itself needs to review its own fundamental assumptions and address six issues: (1) the intelligible order of the universe; (2) fruitful cosmic history; (3) a relational universe; (4) true becoming; (5) consciousness and value; and (6) the eventual futility of the physical universe. A "thick" Trinitarian belief meets the (...)

  • Darwin and the other Christian tradition.Ernan McMullin - 2011 - Zygon 46 (2):291-316.
    Abstract. Augustine, and following him some major theologians of the early Christian church, noted the apparent discrepancies between the first two chapters of Genesis and suggested an interpretation for these chapters significantly different from the literal. After examining a selection of the relevant texts, we shall follow the later fortunes of this interpretation in brief outline, figuring in particular an unlikely trio: Suarez, St. George Mivart, and Thomas Henry Huxley. Moral: Darwinian theory might plausibly be construed as implementing, unawares, a (...)

  • Saving God: Religion after idolatry. [REVIEW]Lynne Rudder Baker - 2009 - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.
    Saving God is a rich and provocative book. It aims to "save God" from idolatrous believers, who take God to be largely concerned with the welfare and destiny of human creatures. Banning idolatry, Johnston is led to a panentheistic conception of "the Highest One," who (or which) is not separable from Nature. With echoes of Spinoza and, to a lesser extent, Whitehead, Johnston argues that the natural world is all that there is, but, properly understood, can be seen as "the (...)
