Abstract
Murphy of Fuller Seminary is a well-known participant in the science-theology dialogue, approaching it by means of the model of scientific methodology developed by Imre Lakatos. The arguments in her earlier Theology in an Age of Scientific Reasoning, that theological claims can constitute genuine knowledge to the same extent as those of the natural sciences, are echoed in the present volumes. Ellis, the co-author of the first book, is best known to scientists as a general relativist and collaborator with Steven Hawking in The Large-Scale Structure of Space-Time. A citizen of South Africa, he has been active in social causes in the recent tumultuous history of that country. Both are Christians in the radical reformation tradition, Ellis a Quaker and Murphy in the Church of the Brethren.
