- Title
Science and the Eastern Orthodox Church: Historical and Current Perspectives.
- Authors
KNIGHT, CHRISTOPHER C.
- Abstract
Current trends in Orthodox theological writing challenge the traditional Western popular perception of the Eastern variant of Christianity as little more than exotic and heretical. Nowhere is this more evident than in the increasing acceptance of and developing involvement in contemporary scientific debate. While a minority of Orthodox writers remain essentially anti-scientific in attitude and others are suspiciously cautious, there are those whose assessment of the Western science faith dialogue is altogether more positive. Indeed, Eastern Orthodox Christianity has a key role to play in developing theological responses to the sciences - responses that can be identified as having their roots in the rich heritage of Orthodoxy itself.
