The Shaping of Rationality: Toward Interdisciplinarity in Theology and Science Professor J. Wentzel Van Huyssteen

Confronting head-on the intellectual challenges raised by postmodern thought, this volume offers a convincing defense of human reason and the legitimacy of theological reflection. Building on the line of argument pursued in his most recent writings, J. Wentzel van Huyssteen here develops his notion of a "postfoundationalist rationality", finding within the rich resources of human thought the possibility -- and vital need -- for complementary dialogue between religion and science.

Learned and fully engaged with current philosophical trends, this volume is a must-read for anyone seeking a sound foundation for faith in a scientifically oriented world.
