The universe as communion

"The Universe as Communion presents a new and distinctive approach to the science-religion debate. Developing ideas from the Church Fathers Nesteruk treats faith, with its sense of the divine presence, and knowledge of the universe, as two modes of communion which constitute the human condition. The modern opposition between science and theology, is treated as the split between two intentionalities of overall human subjectivity. Human 'person', as a centre of their reconciliation, becomes the major theme of the dialogue between science and theology. Nesteruk argues that the reconciliation of science and theology is not simply an academic exercise, but that it requires an existential change, a change of mind which cannot be affected without ecclesial involvement."--Jacket.
