Abstract
Gunton begins his introduction by saying: "It is not too much of an exaggeration to say that in the modern world the doctrine of creation has in many places given way to discussions of the relation between science and religion." Most readers of this journal are interested in such discussion, and this collection of papers from a conference called by the Research Institute in Systematic Theology is relevant to them. It does not, however, deal directly with topics such as biological evolution or the expanding universe. The essays concentrate on the theological issue of how the doctrine of creation has been and should be understood. As the subtitle says, this is a collection of "essays in dogmatics, history and philosophy."
