John Perry and Joanna Leidenhag propose an approach to theology that draws upon the particular tools, methods and findings of the sciences. Rather than treating science and religion as two fixed territories, the book asks how specific collaborations can help theologians formulate more concrete and accountable claims.
The authors examine the historical formation of the categories of science and religion and reconsider theology's place within the university. Their discussion of scientific unity and pluralism prepares the way for treating different sciences as distinct resources for theological reflection, rather than as a single voice to which theology must respond.
The concluding sections offer guidance for interdisciplinary work and collect the examples used throughout the argument. The study brings historical criticism together with a constructive account of collaboration, making it useful to readers interested in theological method, the organization of knowledge and the practical relationship between religious reasoning and empirical inquiry.
