O knihe

Is the Bible a book of science?

Over half of Americans believe science and religion are in conflict.
Theologian and scientist Denis O. Lamoureux suggests that a common assumption of biblical interpretation fuels this struggle. Many Christians think Scripture is supposed to align with science in some sort of way. This idea is known as "scientific concordism" (or simply "concordism"). But Lamoureux demonstrates that the Bible has an ancient science.

During the inspiration of Scripture, the Holy Spirit came down to the level of the biblical writers and allowed them to use their ancient understanding of nature. Lamoureux takes readers to the Ancient Near East and connects ancient understandings of nature and science with the Bible's understanding of nature and science. By revealing 22 hermeneutical principles to apply to the scientific texts in the Bible, Lamoureux skillfully demonstrates that the ancient science of the Bible cannot be expected to conform to modern scientific discoveries. He then explains how moving beyond concordism leads to a peaceful and God-honoring relationship between modern science and our Christian faith.
