Table of Contents
Google Preview: Gilkey's latest work takes the measure of the current American religious and cultural crisis, assesses recent theological responses to it, and shows how these illumine our understanding of the ongoing creationism controversy. Throughout, Gilkey articulates a faith-stance responsive to the contemporary world of radical pluralism and moral uncertainity without retreating to simplistic dogmatism. Gilkey's vision of a "blue twilight" in which light fights with dark in religion and culture, stands as a stark reminder of what is at stake in the future of American religious life.; Langdon Gilkey is Visiting Professor, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, and Emeritus Professor of Theology, the Divinity School, University of Chicago.; Preface Part 1: Light and Darkness in American Religion The Theology of Nature Human Nature and Myth in an Age of Science The Creationist Controversy The Religious Right The Meaning and Relevance of Creation Part 2: Theology's Struggle with Modernity Reinhold Niebuhr An Introduction to Tillich Tillich and the Neoorthodox American Theology since Niebuhr and Tillich Part 3: Hopeful Illuminations Plurality and Its Theological Implications The Religious Situation at the Beginning of the New Millennium History and Theology Reflections and Mortality Index; Google Preview content
