We just got a note from LeRon Shults, a professor of theology and philosophy at the University of Agder in Norway, telling us about his new book, Christology and Science. For those who are unfamiliar, "Christology" is a stream of Christian theology that involves studying the relationship between the divinity and humanity of Jesus.
"Christology and Science brings together two topics that for many have nothing to do with each other," says Alan Padgett, a theologian at Luther Seminary. "Shults innovatively shows how philosophy and contemporary science can help Christians rethink the core of their belief, that is, the 'science' of Christ. Theologians and those involved in the dialogue between religion and science have much to learn from Shults' creative proposal." —Heather Wax
