- Title
MAINTAINING RESPECTABILITY: RESPONSE TO NICHOLAOS JONES.
- Authors
Peterson, Gregory R.
- Abstract
Nicholaos Jones argues that theology is not a respectable discipline because of its inability to meet the standards of contemporary science. Although Jones makes a bold claim, I suggest that he has not made his case by focusing on the question of defining science and metaphysics appropriately, the analysis of the literature he cites, and his central claim that theology presupposes the absolute certainty of God.
